By opposing abstraction versus realism in the universe of my art, I try to show how opposite views interact. I either start a completely abstract approach, then, work towards making certain elements resemble recognizable objects, events, or living being or I start from the opposite direction: I create a very realistic image, then, I abstract it. There aren’t any extra layers. The apparent texture of the final work is an illusion achieved with the use of light and dark. In my digital artworks, I use virtual brushes. I don't use any special effect tools such as filters, glow, or shadows. From time to time, I add an illusion of texture which I, then, distort/enhance, whichever I choose to do at that time. Whether I am painting with oils or using the computer, my style is the same. I am still opposing abstraction and realism as the coexistence of opposite views; I continue placing the main subject within and mixed with the background, instead of in front of it.
