The search for a paradise that has disappeared, 
the reflections on the simple and invisible things of this world, 
the depth of substance of creatures, 
and a penetration into the profundity of the human spirit...
This is my particular world. 
 My paintings are expressions full of modernity;
they are also childish dreams in color, 
expressive of the sweet passing of the beauty, 
the symbols and the myths of old civilization. 
The creatures of my work are mythical poems 
illuminated by the charm of my country which comes from the distant past--
part of it still found in nature, the other part already perished. 
It is pure, personal discovery. 
 I am inspired 
by ancient civilization and religious myths, fables and popular art. 
I look to the art of children and the designs of ancient cave-dwellers. 
I look for new horizons that have no ending. 
My world seems strange to many people, 
but it is real, and has the taste of modernity. 
When I paint, I feel that I live in an ancient world, 
or like a child who has just begun 
to learn to paint with total happiness.
