«Painting is a perpetual communication with myself. Looking at my own work after having completed it, is like looking into a mirror and understanding how I really feel deep inside. There is nothing I can hide from myself then. I never have a plan about what I am going to do when I take a new blank canvas. I just stand there, look at the white surface and let my feelings run free. I love plunging into the big white, finding myself in my inner world, and painting the choreography created by my own life. There is always a direct connection between the colors, compositions, marks, and gestures of a painting and my emotional state of mind while I’m working on it. There are people who can read my own story in their diaries at the end of their days. I will be able to review my own life and journey by looking at my paintings. My art – that’s me.»
