I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.

I've always loved painting, although I never show anyone what I've done. Mainly because I don't do it well. But it's like a form of visual diary for me. A way of fixing things in my mind.

Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.

Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.

A great painting is a great painting.

But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.

I believe that the reason why I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective. There is nothing I hate more than sentimentality.

Painting is much more than therapy to me its a way of life.

I love painting.

Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.
