I have been painting for more than 30 years
My paintings are mostly derived from personal experience 
​The paintings represent themselves
I believe that the meaning of any painting is found in the person looking at the painting 

I stopped buying art magazines in the late 90's and focused on painting
In 2010 I exhibited a series of small paintings titled Crops
For me, those paintings represent the beginning of my mature work

Art is vital
Painting is living
