For me painting is therapy. I believe this is the main reason for my intention. I usually don't follow a plan. The images are created impulsively, directly on the canvas. It was never wanted by me to please. That would limit me a lot in what I do. Surely my head, the ego, keeps screaming: “What is all this supposed to mean? Why don't you have a picture that could also please or is just beautiful ”. In short, the answer is, I can't. If I try something like that, I get aggressive and immediately feel that this kind of painting has nothing to do with me. The so-called experts say to me: “In order to be able to paint really freely, you first have to learn the craft thoroughly. They may be right about that. And yet, none of that interests me.
I enjoy squeezing out tubes much more, feeling and smelling the colors and their substance of my hand - to be fundamentally connected to them. It's all about the process and not about creating. To do this is to be in the now, only in this moment. No yesterday, no tomorrow - space is dissolving. So for me painting is the perfect balance to filming. In fact, thanks to my knowledge of light and color, painting is very easy for me. But here, too, I feel how my inner being breaks through all regularities. So I could well be accused of a degree of anarchy towards art. This accusation, however, I have to admit, in turn flatters my ego.
