Dinyo

"My father instilled in me a passion for art. When he didn't go to work, he'd go the fields with a piece of wood and when he returned, he'd carve something amazing inspired by what he'd seen that day. I loved helping him.

"However, when I was in high school, no one else shared my passion for art, which would make me feel quite lonely. One day, I just went up to the town hall and enrolled in some art classes. My teacher helped me so much, he taught me all the different techniques and soon I was exhibiting my work, either through collective or individual exhibits.

"I lean more towards neo-figurative abstraction and I paint only when I feel the right kind of inspiration. I am a perfectionist and I am always searching for ways to improve my work, so when I paint I must feel calm and meditative.

"I lock myself in my studio to paint. My wife is my muse most times. I also like to go to the fields and observe animals. Horses inspire me considerably too.

"I hope you like my work as much as I love to create it!"
