What inspires you?
life, human themes, situations, lights, stage, the functioning of the soul
Describe your creative process.
I have lots of ideas every day. I have recurring ideas that I write down. The idea that keeps coming back to me, despite writing it down, is what I need to do. Sometimes I plan it, but sometimes I start painting right away and then let it rest for a long time before finishing. If I have to build my work around a theme, I like topics I've never worked with before because they really stimulate creative thinking.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?
experimental, reflective of the world (environment), sensitive
