I am an illusionist. That's why I create art.

Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic.

Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal.

While producing art works, illusions appear from time to time due to my mental illness. Every day is a struggle for me.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.

Art brings a message into a room. It should make us perceive in a new way - either through color, form or narrative content - something we had not perceived before... and perhaps reveal something to you about yourself.

To engage with art, we have to be willing to be wrong, venture outside our psychic comfort zones, suspend disbelief, and remember that art explores and alters consciousness simultaneously.

I am always rethinking how art is perceived and received, questioning our relationship to art. That's always been a constant.

I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.
