“I believe art on a thematic level should be about the polarities of experience and above all express what is beautiful and what is absolutely real. For me my work is closely tied to my personal cosmology / theology, in fact, it would be impossible for me to divorce the two or, in other words, to do something allied with a trend or strictly for money. Above all I create as an act of devotion to LOVE which is the absolute and only reality. Also, I simply enjoy drawing and painting. It’s a meditative act, one for which I’ve always had a faculty and to which I’ve always been attracted above all other expressive modes. It’s also essential to my creativity to occasionally venture into alternate states of consciousness. Creativity is so muted if we remain imprisoned in the ‘normal’ state of (un)consciousness as is culturally dictated to us. We are only here on Earth in these bodies for a short time, so we must use our gifts and abilities fully! Overanalysis is paralysis. I believe that if you are working from a place of devotion and presence, you cannot err.”
