Painting constantly appeared to me as the one and only possible achievement.
reality order suffering
The individual representation of the object, treated sympathetically or antipathetically, is highly necessary and is an enrichment to the world in form. The elimination of the human relationship causes the vacuum which makes all of us suffer in various degrees - an individual alteration of the details of the object represented is necessary in order to display on the canvas the whole physicals reality.
real what-matters secret
What matters is real love for things of the world outside us and for the deep secrets within us.
