For me the darkness is like the stone for the sculptor, out of it I draw my pictures. All the pictures that I'm going to do are already finished in my darkness, I just need to bring them to light. But many things are lost during this transport and often the original is no longer recognizable. Or it is the light that, jealously, deliberately seeks to destroy everything great. Is it the light that under the pretext of bringing clarity into the world destroys the same clarity? Let there be light! God said. But in reality it was a curse on humanity. He has fooled her with the light. People wanted to be able to see and understand his kingdom. They believed the darkness prevented them from seeing. But the light God created was nothing but the beginning of the downfall. My pictures are created under cover of the night and to protect them from the light I surround them with fog or cover them with dust & scratches!
