Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.
				When I came to New York, I began to meet the people who became the most famous artists of our time. I was insecure about my own level of ability, I didn't know whether I could compete with these people and, at the same time. I was wondering what is this anyway?			
				
			I believe the biggest themes of life are put into the best focus when held up against the very sharp light of mortality.
