Só me sinto realmente vivo quando luto contra os meus hábitos ou quando arrisco o certo pelo incerto em busca de aventuras novas! Com a pintura é igual! Jogar pelo seguro sempre foi um obstáculo para se realizarem grandes descobertas! Quem não é livre não realiza os seus sonhos. Ou se realiza… talvez sonhe pouco! Procurar ser cada vez mais livre é o meu objetivo como artista e como ser humano!
