Artist Statement
"No one wants to be an artist, one is chosen. To be an artist is a happy creative act. In a society smothered in glizt and money, the true artist keeps his or her vision. I believe that my art belongs in museums, a place where people can think, and the old and the new are interesting.
A work of art must go completely beyond the limits of the human. Common sense and logic will fail. One must approach the dream and mentality of a lost childhood and recapture it, and if you, we, I, and the world can't do that: it is all over.
Life is not about how one comes into the world, one did not have anything to do with that. It is about how one ends their beginning, and find peace with death. I, being one who opted for the wayward life of an artist and poet under the sign of Bacchus--chose creation, wine, women, and soul music.
Environment and culture determines one's life. In nature, we are the most feeble beings. It is the result of our bad amebic architecture. Man is no man but a wolf. We are the only animals who weep and laugh. Have you ever seen birds crying because they couldn't find a worm? No, they went out and acquired one. Hunger makes for growth and death.
" I have seen the wings of madness fly over me."
