> What is art ?
In every culture there seems to be something deep and wordless, something that escapes language and confinement. My art is for everyone anywhere, who is able to go beyond words. I am looking for the answer by searching for meaning through color and shapes. I hope that my innerworld, which has been expanded by various media and techniques, may form a global
language that can bridge cultural differences ,promote greater understanding and tolerance, which will help to make the world a better place. The more you become aware of your unknown self, the more you realize that all there is, is inseparably connected with everything else that is. The artist as a magician has visions about exsistence and my personal experience as an artist has led me to know, that the creation involved in colors, shapes and motions in space, is a highly powerful and Scared Way. The process is a dynamic condition of balanced movement, that brings along the need for peace in the world, love in relationships, harmony in the universe and complete freedom in artistic expression.
