Artist statement:
My artworks are the result of a long journey through all the experiences that I have been involved from my childhood, wars, marriage, parenthood, divorce and back to childhood from a completely different perspective. After gathering all my personal history and the knowledge I acquired from it, I try to reach again the innocent expression of a child to be able to present a simple emotional piece of art.
