Statement:
The canvas of the Universe bends itself, expands and flows. Thus, it creates an infinite variety of forms, colors and spaces that are all equally vital within its singular Unity. The thrilling calm of the violet in a rainbow; the exquisite, tender sense of the fragrance of a flower; the joy that emanates from the power of the brilliant light of day; the deep sound of silence in the dark abyss of Space, all these surround me, enfold me and inspire the vision that I translate into images.
