OVERVIEW

What is Art for me?
A challenge for adventure, or one
invitation to a perpetual journey?
Some say it’s a game,
a madness …
or person’s need for revolution.
Maybe it’s a gift for all of us
and all of you
like wild animals, we are looking for
pain,loneliness and freedom!
Art is light, color and composition,
Product of vibration and expression!
Is in’t it an observation
and geometry,
struggle and hard work?
I believe that all this is together …
Art is soul, body and spirit together!
