The whole concept is to free the song of the spirit with fast and spontaneous painting. I believe in the art of true expression. For me, freedom of expression creates happiness, which is in the pulse of every
brush stroke. Color, form and texture, dancing spontaneously across the canvass, awakens all the senses and we can hear the rhythm of life.
Spirituality has to be the very essence of pure abstract art. Without it,
abstract art is lifeless.
