“I think there is some emotion that is always in abundance in me, and the rest of it that I can no longer bear forces me (in a good sense) to paint and create a kind of dwelling for my memories. I feel a certain responsibility not to waste this differently hued energy that swirls inside me and waits for release. The biggest task I set for myself while drawing is sincerity. The emotional sincerity, first and foremost, and no fear of completely exposing myself. Consequently, what I enjoy the most is when the viewer draws an emotional parallel with his or her life and finds something in common in this regard. I often think I would burst or get petrified if I could not paint.”
