Kunstart: Malerei
Technik: Ölmalerei
Stil: Gegenständlich
Statement:
For me art is about the way to mark my existence, to define my identity. We can touch unknown in us, or dramas of reality around. We can also dream, escape from reality or enhance the positive part of it. The search of myself is the work in progress...
