„Painting is a field of surreptitious fortuity. It is choice. Supposition. A game in which I set the rules and viaolate them. Painting means adventures, losses discoveries. Gradually, bit by bit, discarding all superfluous matter, emerges the image, shade, line, light, silhouette, pieces of texture, containing a paraphrase of some tought. The tragic and grotesque situations recur. The image of hero multiplied and re produced many times becomes a travesty; a ridiculous small man may turn into a tragic image. I like to take a classical plot and turn it inside out, see what will become of it. To play the persecutor instead of the victim. Thus, I can entertain myself; I would willingly make a series from each of my works. The number of variants is infinite: one excluding the other, reducing the theme to absurdity. The protagonist, a contemporary citizen obsessed with all sorts of complexes, who is being offered some heroic situation, beginning with the ancient Greek myths, or biblical legends. But I do not identify with him. Prophecies, when attributed to modern times, express my social activity”.
