"When I paint, I explore the interior and the exterior at the same time: I go outside, look at the colors, the nature, the world. And then I synthesize what I see into the face, into the personal, into the deep. If what I do doesn't excite me and I don't touch places of pain, pleasure and emotion, that's problematic. As soon as the mind enters the process, I stop everything and put it aside. It's clear to me that I'm working on the very honest places myself, and someone from the outside sees it and feels it."
