When I paint, I am not trying to be good.<\/p>

I am not trying to make it nice.<\/p>

I am not even trying to make the message visible.<\/p>

I don\u2019t like to say that I \u201cmake art\u201d.<\/p>

Honestly, I have no idea what art really is.<\/p>

I don\u2019t know the proper techniques, or the right proportions of the human body.<\/p>

And I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t even want to learn them.<\/p>

What I see is that many artists I respect also don\u2019t really care in that way.<\/p>

Most of them learn the rules and technique only so they can forget them later.<\/p>

Some spend their whole lives trying to free themselves, to paint without borders, limits or frames.<\/p>

But there is one thing they all do:
they repeat.<\/p>

They return to the same themes, the same gestures, again and again.<\/p>

People from the outside call it \u201cstyle\u201d.<\/p>

I see it as training. A slow path to freedom.<\/p>

If you repeat the same thing, no matter how simple it is, it becomes extraordinary.<\/p>

You become the master of it.<\/p>

That is what I want.<\/p>

I want to paint to release energy, to think, to grow my thoughts while the colors move on the canvas.<\/p>

It is like reading a good book, but better.<\/p>

A book is static. My painting and my thoughts are alive and changing.<\/p>

This is how I want to create.<\/p>

And this is also why I don\u2019t want to sell my work.<\/p>

The moment I sell it, I am afraid the target will change.<\/p>

I would start creating for others, not for my own consciousness.<\/p>

I want to create to develop my inner world.<\/p>

That is enough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
