I didn't know why. My hand always went by itself. Now I realized: The mood and energy of the soul is released with creation. All works of art from paintings to buildings transmit the energy that their creator gave them to the people who are released from them. I like my paintings to spread a gentle breeze of peace, tranquility and a light that rather reminds of nostalgic feelings that we once experienced. A flower in a vase facing the daylight, a deserted shore with the sea shimmering in the midday sun, a curtain blown by the morning breeze, the smell of cypresses and pines on a rock or the candles in a deserted church, the a small child's gaze and so many other images that our world has to offer in addition to the image transmit and awaken in us old moments so that we relive for a moment like fireworks sensations of the past that are now becoming more and more distant and inaccessible .
