should be separate from the passion that is art.
I am sure that even if I would change my job tomorrow,
for need of profit,
something that I do apart from anything.
The five years of art school
were more of a technical experience
than an emotional one.
Something happened to me in Bali.
I can’t describe [what it was].
It was something
that made me feel
that I wanted to express myself.
In the first years I was very attracted
to the strong Hinduism.
During my first years as an artist,
when I felt I was doing what the market wanted him
to do rather than what I did.
It was the beginning,
the first contact with the art markets…
and I felt I wasn’t an artist anymore.
The long process of the paint to get dry
gave me the chance to change my mind.
he gained the balance of control
and unpredictability he desired.
One thing that might not change
is his place of comfort.
I need to make my mind free
to explore new things.
Art is supposed to be communication.
and I think about all my paintings in different houses,
different families.
I hate when people buy
or choose an artwork from me
to match the sofa.
