"Painting is a mission driven by fascination. As the discoveries reveal themselves, I continue to explore additional paths of adventure. It is true that the artist needs two exceptional qualities: one is definitely tenacity and the other is audacity. In short, the odyssey is fascinating, but the journey is passion."
