Artist’s Statement:
To be able to bring to life one’s own fantasy, to express secret thoughts and hidden feelings, to liberate the spirit, to make journeys of exploration within oneself - all these experiences are those of the artist. It is also magical that once a work of art is completed it assumes an entity apart from its maker; the viewer is also a part of it. The images the paintings create in the viewer’s mind bespeak its magical force.
