Coming out of the dark is not easy. The dark pampers you. It's an excellent place to hide. It makes you dream. It makes you feel that it's alright to dream, so you go on living in your dreams. You feel safe and comfortable snuggled up in your corner. You live hoping. Hoping for some light...perhaps... Well, if you do want to come out, here are a few tips. The first thing is facing the light. The light is proud and won't come to you. It doesn't beg. The light will not pamper you. The light exposes. The light is cruel. If you can handle this, then read more..... Guidelines you must follow: 1) First you have to stop dreaming. This is important as it will determine your course. 2) Don't tell anyone. It's a sacred secret. 3) Be decisive. How do you do that? ...by acting fast. Dont allow any second thoughts. If you do, go back to your corner. You're not ready yet. 4) Get up, take one step and do not look back. The dark is sexy and will try to allure you. 5) Take a second step, and a third. Don't run. Running will bring fear. 6) While taking those steps. Keep looking down. You are not ready to look straight into the light. Have patience. 7) By now you start to see the first colors. Just keep your slow and steady pace. Do not run to the finish line. 8) Open your eyes. If the brightness blinds you and the light surrounds you, you've reached your destination. 9) (this is your last ordeal)...The light will expose yourself now. It will be cruel. There is no mercy, no pity, no comfortable corners. So, what have you achieved? Was it worth it? Well, take yourself, find a stoop and both of you sit. Start talking. You've just met your best friend. So much in common, that you never knew. And as of now, you will be inseparable.... It's worth the ride...isn't it?

I started out on the street. Well, actually at the park. Union Square Park in NYC. I got a table, a table cloth, a few pieces of the loose canvas - paintings, and that's how I started. It was tough, as I had to get up right after midnight to get that specific location in the park (first come, first serve). I remember the first piece I sold, to an Italian lady for $20. A small piece, around 11X14 inches. I was so embarrassed my chicks turned red. My "studio" was a rented small space, in the basement of the building (in the East Village), where I lived. When it rained the floor would be full of water, so I had to wear rain boots and paint. Since then, life has changed. I have my own big studio in Greenpoint Brooklyn. I have all the top printers and do my own printing. I attend as many shows and exhibitions I can. People from all over the world come especially on weekends to visit, browse, and buy my art. The first question they ask me is what inspires me. Well, I can't really be specific. It could be anything. A combination of colors, a store sign, a street, but I have to admit, most often thoughts do inspire me. Perhaps it sounds strange but when I think, - of anything - images are formed in my head. Images that create emotions. I keep them for a few days or months, and one beautiful day if the mood sets in with an image I sit and start painting. The irony is that when I paint, the brush or the knife take me to new images, new thoughts. The emotions do not change. They become more intense. The question I ask myself is if I'm happy. This is what I always wanted to do, this is what I do, I Keep pretty good company with me.... so the answer is yes...
