I believe that painting is an independent entity by itself. Nothing repeats itself to its existence
in whole. Painting should not and is not obliged to be subservient to narration, to event or
incident. It does not tell story. The contents, the medium, its treatment, scale, search and
internal logic, dictates the evolution of composition which stands out as “self-sufficient
existence”.
Form, colour, structure and direction should give a rhythemic whole. Inner geometry of nature
be recognised and respected. Creations are not tied to any preferential technique. Work
should reach beyond originality in the quest of wider relevance
