jeques,
to begin with, my admiration is at lost for words that would best describe these collection of art pieces you have made through the years. there was a certain artistic touch that distinguishes you as a master, whose images where not merely a showcase of images but of life concepts that appear simple, yet beyond each brushstrokes and colors left such a profound meaning slowly revealing to me as a observer.
my method as an observer, is to connect with your art in such a passion that i would seek answers to questions of why did the painter did his brushstrokes this way, not that way. of why he chose this color palette and not those. then in the process, i found myself answering questions gradually as the images seems to have a life of their own before my very eyes, revealing not only its essence but also its relevance in my daily living.
your paintings were those waifs playing out there in the sun and you have given them such freedom to explore their own. you have become the third person whose gift create a scenery that provide a fertile ground for these ideas to grow. you have provided such a notable feat in exposing your genius, creating pieces that confront grace over pressures, truimph over loss and happiness over sadness. your pieces, singular as may be, are powerful in their own. the canvas becomes a stronghold. and the elements are focused and not diverting. that’s why it always left an impression to the mind.
my recollection of your pieces are vivid, but i must take a particular note about your series on flowers. the brushstrokes i must say is so far the best in this collection. keep on exploring and i anticipate that you find more way to discover your inner truths.
best of times,
marvin

Marvin,
It is my fervent prayer that my works would be taken with such understanding.
My works and study on flowers is still on going, they are very special to me being my first subject and where all these inspiration sprung.
I wish you well.
