How did you come to art, or how did art come to you?
The artist does not “come to” anything nor does he receive external influence: he develops what he has in himself when existential circumstances “free” him from conditioning. In fact, the artist experiences life and its events in two ways: through common perception but also through the mind’s eye.

Where do you get your inspiration from?
Generally, I take inspiration from events that lead me to reflect on the history of man and his myths. I process it at the first light of day, in that space between unconsciousness and wakefulness, where we do not clearly perceive reality.

What do you enjoy most about your work?
“Creation”: that marvellous and fleeting moment in which an idea arises and then is transformed into creation. In reality, the artist is like a child who plays and never stops, until the end of his existence and beyond.
