“Where does my art come from? Where am I going?” Affected by nature and the environment, he feels his art is a spontaneous reaction to nature.” I am at peace with nature and in harmony with the universe. There is sensitivity to cosmic influences spiders are attracted to me. Flowers say hello to me. That is why I prefer to paint alone.”
