| "Drawing and painting
have been central to my life since childhood - when I was surrounded by the pictures and
working environment of my parents. Drawing and painting is a language to me. I studied the
grammar of this language first in drawing, then in composition and then in colour. I try
to use this language to describe and express my feelings about the visual world and to
attempt to make non-visual ideas visible. I would like to think that my work is accessible
to everyone. It is one of my firm beliefs that an artistshould be an active member of
society and not an exile from it, and that art is strongest when it is closely connected
to society. My objective is to make strong images, which people will respond to
immediately and will not tire of easily". |
