Artist's Statement The interaction between dreams and reality The way they mix and transform one to another... Past, present and Future, and the "incomprehensible" time, almost a dream for itself. The human desire of knowing the mystery of Life. And the water...always the water... beginning and end of everything... All these things have been inspiring my work for many years... And after all of the above, the simple pleasure of mixing colors and navigating the small, and, at the same time, deep world of a painting...
