Painting is my Life. Through painting I am exploring my inner World. During this journey, I discovered that this inner World (subconsciousness?) is the source of true inspiration; the outer World is driven mostly by mind, which tends to force limits, logic and rules. When mind takes over, my art usually goes wrong...

While painting, quite often I find myself in a strange state of disconnection. I feel that the painting is created by itself and I am just an observer. I don't know why or how... The images and colors just start flowing out, beyond any of my control. They just happen...like love...like rain... I can't stop it. I am immersed in that inner World, and I am creating a new World which reflects my inner self. A newly created World one can see and touch- this new World is my painting.

When I stop - I feel incredibly exhausted. I feel like my energy was drained by an invisible force and transferred to the canvas. I also feel amazed. How did all of this happen? Was I dreaming? I look at my painting and I ask myself - did I just create this?
