Artist’s statement; I love painting because it is a combination
of shapes, volumes, colors and feelings. All must be carefully thought
through so it may be build and constructed mirroring my feelings rather
than evoking at random. Picasso had said “Painting is like shit.
You can smell it, but you can’t explain it”
