The world of line, colour, form is different from the world of words and so it is difficult to say what exactly happens at that moment in time when I take brush in hand. One can only speculate , as a painter one can only say that here is silence in action .It is meaningless to look for meanings. It is enough to understand that there is nothing to understand.

If your rejection of my work is sudden or your appreciation spontaneous .I would say that you have got it . With your feeble intellect you try to come to a logical conclusion about eternity. With a limited channel you want to grasp the limitless, all I say is this, look at my paintings and be quiet. If there is a question – move on- you have missed it all .
