About myself

I enjoy immersing myself with emotions and mind in experiencing colour. This confrontation with the substance of colour and its effects is at the same time amusement and solemnity. Over and over again I try to materialize my thoughts through colour, to make it touchable, to transmit it to the canvas or other surface and harmonize it with its form.
