Painting brings me joy. I have painted ever since I can remember. But painting is also a form of expression and that requires an interlocutor. I would like my creations to provoke an emotion in the viewer. I paint my models with curiosity, passion, and compassion. Through the process of creation, I get to know them intimately, even if they are an invention: a child of my spirit, my imaginary family. I hope that some of this insight reaches the viewer. Of course, what lies beneath the surface of reality is a mystery. Still, in painting the lives of others are also ours.
