When I play, I very quickly put myself into a light hypnotic trance and compose while playing, drawing directly from the emotions.

Usually I am on a work for a long stretch, until a moment arrives when the air of the arbitrary vanishes, and the paint falls into positions that feel destined.

I paint on the ground. I paint with sticks, with big paint cans, and whatever else falls in it. Basically, what I'm doing is capturing unbridled emotion and putting it on canvas. It's like capturing lightning in a bottle.

Yeah, I paint in my spare time, just to relax myself and wind down a bit.

I play music, I paint - these things come from your depths.

That's when I feel really excited about a painting. When it starts to feel real, when it feels like it has a personality.

What I wish to show when I paint is the way I see things with my eyes and in my heart.

I do remember when it occurred to me the first time, when I got the idea of painting the way I feel at a given moment. I was sitting in a chair and felt it pressing against me. I still have the drawings where I depicted the sensation of sitting.

I do so play an instrument! I play air! I play the air with my fingers, and I'm in touch with the deepest emotions within. It took me a while to learn that whatever I feel like doing is the right thing. If I want to play an invisible instrument, I will.

Art for me is like breathing.
