“As an obsession since childhood, painting has always been my number one occupation; everything else orbits around this sphere.  Nevertheless, art, in general, has always occupied my psyche: I write verses to support my painting, I compose music to nurture the other two, I do all three to be alive; and then, I perform and the stage is the ultimate thrill—my reward.  For me these worlds are inseparable.”
