Me and Painting

I am a painter. When I am in full harmony with painting, the serendipities arise with such fluidity and naturalness that decisions cease to be a problem. Chance becomes the decision. However, being in tune is the most difficult state, as it is not something one decides to be in, but rather just is. This requires a belief and a persistence that come from continuous work, constant maturation and learning, mental preparation, and connection with the more opaque dimension of myself. Painting is not just an act, it is also inaction to give space to thought, reflection, and memory.
