Schopenhauer - what’s always behind every bar conversation Print

I'm an Artist, a Writer and I've been through Political Exile in the 70s, so I've done and seen a lot. I believe being out there in the world with a bit of recklessness and nowhere - therefore, everywhere - to go, has everything to do with the freedom one needs to express one's self through art. I started painting at the age of 7 and then life led me through twisted paths. Like it always does. When it comes to the pursuit of happiness, I found out that you shouldn’t have an ultimate goal - you’re never lost when you don’t know where you wanna get to. I found joy in painting because it became a way for me to escape being a slave of production and consumption, and a way of letting the chaos we all carry inside flow to the surface. I became a basement artist and only after many years being chased by imaginary shadows, I now own a fresh, bright atelier, surrounded by green. My style went from innocuous abstractionism to figurative with an urge for abstraction. By making no difference between the reality each one of us creates and the one that exists in the Universe, I was finally driven to the nonsense. And that’s what you’ll see in my paintings.
