ARTIST STATEMENT
I didn't choose to be a painter. Painting chose me. The passion for painting began when I was very young and I started to draw. At the moment when I began to have a conscience, a sense of life and the world around me. I became aware of the desire to paint. I began to paint in oils about 30 years ago and I never stopped. It was a psychological necessity. It was a part of me, a way of life and a way of thinking. .I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way. They say there is a fine line between creativity and insanity. Some say it is a curse being an artist but to me the alternative is unthinkable. Painting for me is a manner of describing and recreating things, a change of reality and also an observation of others.
