Through my work I seek to lift up people who are or were at my side ... yes it is a way of keeping them with me. Is how to redirect feelings like these and vaccinated and stop hurting. Exorcizarte It's like, let out your demons and set you free, and no longer hurt. If outside a feeling that it hurts, you get rid of it and if you put it on a wall, that's safe and you might get to like it. "
WHERE TO ...
"It really just pretend that I do I like me, tell me something, I bring a good memory, I paint a smile, that make me look when I pass in front of him.
Do not want to wear a label, if you ever want to paint a chicken, I will and if the next moment I seems to do a portrait, the same thing: I will, but if I can get my stuff with the emotion of others as it would be good ... go where the excitement takes us. "
Painting for me is to play the fantasy with reality and attach it again to play. Share my world interior.
