I was asked to write an “Artist Statement” many years ago,
I didn’t know what to write, I managed something, but it was
forced and somewhat mediocre.
I always felt that art needn’t be explained, I still believe so.
Art is Art, it moves you, touches you, revolts you, as long as
it evokes something, Art is doing its job.
I guess this is my brand new “Artist Statement” which is
about explaining myself to you, as a painter, a dabbler,
someone who without art feels life makes no sense,
has no meaning. Painting makes life worth living, I am doing
something, not for posterity, not for the world, but for me,
a declaration of self, “I exist, I am”.
