ARTIST STATEMENT:
When I see a color or a form that is interesting to me, I
keep
it in my eyes.
When I hear a music, a sound that makes me deeply
emotional, I keep it in my ears.
When I smell a scent, a perfume that inebriates me, I
keep it in
my nose.
When I feel a sensation that touches my heart I keep it in
my
soul.
When I fear, I love, I laugh, I weep for what I see, I touch, I
hear, I smell,
I feel... I put all these emotional fervors in an ecstatic
intimacy
with my feelings until I paint as a release of all my visions
and
sensations.
