Dulfan’s paintings reflect the boundless energy, originality and passion of the artist’s own personality. “My art is dramatic, bold and uncompromising: I paint the very interesting human story through the filters of my dreams and subconscious.” With gorgeous colors applied in forceful brush strokes, each of Dulfan’s pieces is a rich tableau which invites the viewer to return again and again to gaze and discover more of the secrets held within.
