I have a passion for art, I do not know why but for me art is a language. With a bit of time I think everyone can begin to understand it and can be affected by its content. I personally find it more meaningful to express my ideas in my creative way, rather than talking. Through painting, sculpture, installation and poems. The images tend to exist in a semi abstract, ambiguous style. If the viewer is willing to look more they will find definite points of information. I suppose I want the audience to become involved. My work is normally related to the human condition and emotions.

Here are some famous quotes which inspire me:
"Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us." ~ Roy Adzak
"The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures." ~ George Braque
"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art." ~ Paul Cézanne
"To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and commonsense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams." ~ Giorgio DeChirico
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." ~ Edgar Degas
"...the object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity." ~ Alberto Giacometti
"The best reason to paint is that there is no reason to paint....I'd like to pretend that I've never seen anything, never read anything, never heard anything...and then make something....Every time I make something I think about the people who are going to see it and every time I see something, I think about the person who made it....Nothing is important...so everything is important." ~ Keith Haring
"They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my reality." ~ Frida Kahlo
"The great epoch of the spiritual which is already beginning, or, in embryonic form, began yesterday... provides or will provide the soil in which a kind of monumental work of art must come to fruition.' ~ Wassily Kandinsky
"I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me." ~ Henri Matisse
"One day seven years ago I found myself saying to myself -- I can't live where I want to -- I can't go where I want to go--I can't do what I want to -- I can't even say what I want to --....I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to." ~ Georgia O'Keeffe
"Art is a lie that helps us to realize the truth." ~ Pablo Picasso
"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun." ~ Pablo Picasso
"Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely." ~ Auguste Rodin
