Artistic credo
Coming to the right artistic decisions is an area where creative intuition meets rational analysis of form. This dualism is the basis of all creation. Cognitive and rational thought, an internal imperative, faith, hope, and passion are needed. I think that it is not indifferent what the imagination is fed with, how the mind and creative spirit mature. This is the first link; “Garden for Imagination”. This “garden” is an area of ​​interest, contact with the subject of knowledge, inquisitiveness, and stubbornness in finding the truth.
