Artist's Statement


What does Art mean to me?

It's an isolation of the studio, aromas of oil paint, canvas and varnish.
My sons call me toxicoman. It's not true - it's not the chemicals per se, 
which give me a boost. It's just a reminder of previous wonders away from the reality, 
which have started here, in the studio, always accompanied with these smells.

Far, far away - worlds like ours, but better, worlds with no shape but color, worlds... 
no, just put them in the closet and never show them to a single soul...

But kids are hungry. Here, in the present life, not in these dreams, which always vanish 
with no trace. Time to go upstairs and make a dinner.
