2. Why art?
You can experience things day after day, keep them or even lose some of them, express your self and … at the end maybe you can make something from pure silence and solitude that can speak by itself. I still haven’t found anything like it, with the same power, that can move the world forward for me.

I work most of time in a very direct manner with some very expressive actions. I am old fashioned you know. Some times I apply some thin washes of colors to bring out highlights, then with the brush I really want to resemble drawing relationship between media/paper, or acrylic/canvas.
