Artist Statement

"A painter is a collector, he makes his own collection" "Un peintre es un collectioneur, il fait sa propre collection" "Un pintor es un coleccionista, hace su propria coleccion" Pablo Picasso.

The most gratifying moments in painting are those when all of a sudden you get a kick out of an "accident", something not planned which fits the painting just perfectly. The intuition is at work and surprises the rational mind. Sometimes the painting overtakes your will and dictates colors, forms or nuances which were never thought of....
