Artist
Statement:
Creating
for me is not a wish but a command from within.
It is not thought but emotion.
It is a desire destroying me if not released.
I wanted
for many years to expel it, because it brought no happiness. It tore my
mind to pieces. But when I finally accepted this urge given to me, to
pass these creations on to the outside world, my life became brighter.
The Demons and the Angels were no longer fighting inside me, I became
a mere medium, a house of glass for others to see through. What is given
to me, I shall pass on to those who are being touched by it. I long for
the creation always!
