“I always did drawings. Then, few years ago, I started working with large-scale paper. It's an extension of performance, because the pieces are the size of my full body. I use pencils, acrylic, watercolors, and I also incorporate textual messages. I did most of them in a monastery in Spain at the top of a mountain. I lived there a bit like a monk.

He died so many years ago, of course, but somehow, his ghost is always with me.”

It didn't always come together easily nor does it always stay together easily. It's known very good times and very bad ones.

And like the world itself, our family is renewed by each baby.”
“A conquering king will banish from his breast hatred towards one whom he no longer fears.”
