Why I am painting
Some people might ask why I am painting, and I will try to answer. Sometimes I paint for fun, sometimes to create something beautiful or interesting. When I have an inspiration, I want to be completely alone, only me, painting and some music.
Being an artist for me is to be alive, to enjoy and to feel deeply. I forgot where I am, who I am. I only see, what I am creating. I don´t think for example that this is a head or this is an arm, I only think the movement of colours and lights.
