...Intermingle the invisible with the visible. When all the layers of personal illusion are peeled away, collective mind and universal emotion are visible. In my work I try to express sensory perception rather than intellectual presumptions. I evoke the essence of a feeling, a thought, an idea rather than impose a fixed realism. There are always several layers of perception, recognition, understanding and realization as there are several layers of meaning. The attitude of the spirit creates the measure of aesthetics. Herein lies the challenge. There is nothing to grasp...
