| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Why painting?
For the desire of a deep knowledge of things.
Painting, for me, is not only communication, but almost an additional sense, a further perception of world, of the real and of the imaginary, of the material and of the dream, of the objective and of the individual.
Painting is for me the place of the revelation, of the primary reflection.
As a self taught artist, I have been painting and drawing since I can remember – this is a part of me.
Trying to understand, to give a sense to our imagination and needs.
