“I am fascinated by life in itself. Nothing is ordinary or trivial. My goal as an artist is to present a summary of life. Every moment is important. Life is extraordinary. That man pushing that wheelbarrow. It isn’t just about pushing. It’s about everything that has led that man to push that wheelbarrow. Whether there has been fairness on his way leading to that episode. My mission is to reveal everything around that man.”

“If my work can arouse your thinking about certain issues, that is where I want to go. Trying to be provocative, rather than narrative about subjects. I feel restless and doubtful, and you might discover these emotions in my work. So, I want you to feel doubtful too, because then the things around us become more interesting.”

“Often, sitting in front of that blank canvas, I have no clues. I don’t sketch. My initial question would be: ’What does it want?’ When I start applying colours, that puts me in the right mood. My memory starts working, and all these snapshots from the streets, the markets, the alleys and squares appear.”

“When I am painting, I am awake and alert. My technique may seem quite wild. I apply colour quite vividly, I am not labouring so much. I have an idea of what I want to say, not in a detailed way though. It is true that by the time I get to that canvas, I have been through a lot of reflections, collecting knowledge about life, storing images in my head. And I feel so restless about what I am thinking, that the canvas helps me to get it out.”
