Sacred Art, Awakening Life Art is a manifestation of the inner world. Art is a constant research. I am inspired by the art that states/reinforces life itself: humor, sexuality, movement, change, philosophy, mythology, joy. My art does not manifest my artistic skills (how well you can draw is secondary, in my opinion), but rather demonstrate my thoughts, the research of a form and contrast, the story behind an image. Surely, I strive to develop and progress visual aspects of my art, but the skill/craftsmanship has always been, let’s say, of a lower priority, yielding to the magic of this process in general. The questions that I ask myself in life and in art are NOT “who?”, “when?”, “where?”, "how?" or “how much?”, but I am always curious to know “what?” and “why?” - and of course it is manifested within my creations. In every work I manifest and celebrate the Individual believe, the inner faith in oneself, capable of changing the world – the inner world of oneself.
