“For me, painting is not arithmetic or logic. I do not accept the concept of "intellectual painting". For me, it's just the relationship between flowers, as well as freedom and celebration. What matters to me is not what I draw, but rather the imaginary state of it. Portrait and image - are not the same.”

"Something must be pulsing in the fabric. There must be some kind of internal tension so everything will come out of the fabric on its own." 

"Kublo" - is a block of energy that gives rise to phenomena that occur in the world: emotions, tragedies and joys, a whirlwind of events - expressed in a clash of colors.
