''Art for me is always a magical experience. It consoled me during my relatively poor childhood. It somehow gave me that good sensation I got when my stomach was filled with tasty food. Or when other kids from the neighborhood show off their new toys, bikes or whatever material possesions they have, of course i got envy, but when they saw how good I draw I could see from their eyes how jealous they were of my talent. This talent in art served me (and other art-talented kids) some sort of special status in the school and neighborhood.

Nowadays I see art as a ''good companion'', it still gives me that good feeling everytime I finish a sketch, a painting on a canvas or anything that stimulates my creativity. And the good thing is, its like a bucket that never gets empty, I'm still having this same excitement as always and I always find new ways/method to create. ''
