Starting a work of art, there are two things so important to me; the subject that I choose and the way I face it. And when the painting forms in a limbo between reality and imaginary, that is the finishing point of the painting. Now which of the above the painting refers to more, is up to the painting itself. To me, painting is a vague totality while it is rule governed; apparently simple but very complicated and respect seeking inside.
