If
you are an artist, Do you make a living off your art?
Yes, I make my living as an artist,
but also my loving for I am in love with the work I do.

artists?
Not at all. They do not give
anything.

I do what I can when I can how I
can.

What
would people be surprised to learn about you?
Basically nothing, as an artist I am
not important, why would anything be surprising about me to others?
Technically,
what would you consider to be a piece of art? Why?
I am not concerned with the
functions of a critic, for me,technically, there must be the knowledge of the
craftsman in every artist.
Do
you have any tips or inspiring words for others?
Yes...please do not think you are an
artist because you've painted a "pretty" picture or because others
have acclaimed your creativeness. An artist must be able to absorb the
ugliness, indulge in the cutting edge and be ready to tell the story of the
pain that cuts through the bone. Nature is cruel and art must not shy away from
the most discordant, abhorrent and irreverent things or people. Art is not
decorative piece of artistry...not everyone who paints is an artist...first
become a philosopher then a journalist
and if you are truly an artist, put on your crown of thorns and go out and get
crucified...

Can
you give more insight about you and your work
My work reflects nature. All art
begins in the head and the ideas must flow through the fingers to the canvas,
paper or marble...I do not seek to imitate the natural world, I seek to be like
nature. However, within my own nature, the influence I was born with there is
lots of colour and you will find unending combinations in my work and these
tell their own story. You must see my work, I cannot
tell you they resemble abstract, figurative or naturalistic art...one thing
they are not is pop
art or scenes drawn directly from nature.
