Art and creation is for me a kind of sixth sense. I see, hear, taste, smell,
touch and also create. I will be not able to live without this sixth sense.

I dream my own dream, sometimes beautiful, sometimes strange,
sometimes painful, and sometimes cheerful. In my creations and in my
life I do my best to follow The Four Agreements (don Miguel Ruiz). It is
not always simple to live the four agreements; especially if you are an
artist and you would like only to create and to live your own dream,
don’t troubled yourself with marketing, galleries, buyers, collectors,
public relation, promoting yourself, selling yourself etc. If I had the
good fortune to have a financial safety-net; enough to keep me going
for the rest of my life, I would just create my art, paint my paintings,
write my poems and my books and don’t think about carrier and money.
I don’t like networking; don’t like the attention that is connected with
being known. It is also true that since I am domesticated animal and
in a kind of way a social one, I need public, I need audience, I need
fans and I need people that love my art. I am really happy when my art
is adored by others, when my paintings make people happy or even
unhappy; when people are overcome with emotion during watching my
paintings. I would lie if I would say that I don’t care about audience. I
do, and very much so. I need the dialogue with people who appreciate
that what I am doing.

How to reconcile all that?
It is also fact that I think that our existence in a philosophical/cosmic
sense is senseless. Because that we shouldn’t take ourselves so damn
seriously. If we could do this our lives would be 100% more tolerable.
From the moment that we are born, we are dying too. The life of the
majority of the people consists of daily warfare to survive. The majority
of the people are born and died poorly. Whatever I, us an individual, try
to do to help others it will not change anything. How to reconcile that,
with our belief about our greatness, about our uniqueness? Maybe
I am too stupid to understand the profound sense of our existence.
But nevertheless because we are hear alive on this planet as a part
of our universe we should try to be happy, honest, and free and to
do the best what we can do to become better humans. So far, I am
working on becoming free, free in my mind; the freedom to be who
I really am. This is the only freedom I really posses: my thoughts, my
feelings, my choices, my vocation and my creations. I am very happy
to be able to share my passion with other humans.
I try to express my personal philosophy in my paintings.
