Did you believe this nonsense? I lied to you all, I’ve been lying to everyone all my life. I like to lie and make things up. I paint my paintings so as not to go crazy in this crazy world. If you like my paintings, then you can buy them and hang them in your apartment or office. Any nonsense about studies or exhibitions is of no interest to anyone when buying a painting they need to cover a hole in the wall.
