When I gather all the years, the efforts, ideas, women, children, friendships, wars, emotions, canvases and colors, when I look at this bunch of stuff say: Move on. Build this mountain and go on.

Oil paintings on canvas and wood, which had been developed in turbulent times of life. And finaly my art begins to develop itself.
