I am grateful to the public art displayed in TATE gallery London for its amazing work and collection of artists and endless human creativity with its purest form and simplicity. You are my inspiration.

Same goes to TATE gallery St. Ives, Cornwall- England a hidden gem of UK, for its collection of British modern art from its local artists. My frequent visit to south east coast of Cornwall engulfed my passion in Abstract Art. I also would like to express my appreciation having bump into many artists and having discussed with them about their collection and inspirations in Polperro and St. Ives. Some artists express Appreciations of my art and ideas, whereby I found encouragement whilst on my own journey in discovering of my own perspectives about abstract art.

Finally, I would like to mention Vincent Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum, and Stedelijk museum - Amsterdam.

I couldn’t agree more the fact that they are interesting art museums. Rijksmuseum with its unparalleled collections of paintings and objects of material culture prints and classic photography collections, in my opinion there are one of the finest museums for abstract art, not to miss Stedeljik museum, surprises us with 90 thousand modern painting, and other modern art collections.
