Painting has helped me to discover who I am. What I want from this life and what can I do to help even in a little way to make this a better world

As an artist I admire many other artists, some of them contemporaries to us, some of them far away in time. But the ones that I like the most are my children. I look at them and I see what they are telling me. I see the ones of my 2 boys, in their youth now and I remember the moment, the history behind that little painting that they did went they were just a little kids. I see the paintings of my little girls and I see the same ingenuity to convey what they see and what they want to tell us. These are the things that accompany me in my every day, my children, their work, our memories. What a lucky person I am. I can work in a place called my studio, surrounded by these beautiful things.
