“I often ask my paintings whether they dreamed me into existence or if it is the other way around. We live together and yet we are alone, both following our own path and bearing our own destiny. They step into infinity without any reason and do not return. Thinking while they go, listening to their footsteps as they echo in the silence, an immense silence in an endless abyss. Where are they going? They struggle for life but cannot change their destiny except through the intervention of a miracle…perhaps they wait for a promise of happiness to come.”
