How did you make the decision to make art your
career, rather than just a hobby?
I haven’t make the decision to make painting my career,
I just started painting at one moment in my life, when
I felt more free and in peace. The rest happened kind of
by itself.
Does painting ever feel like work?
To me painting never feels like work, but more like fun
and creation. I guess some work could feel that way too
at times. I just loose my self in it and time stops. I could
spend 10 h as if it was 1h .
How do you avoid artists-block and keep the creative
juices flowing?
My creative process does not include much influence
from others actually.I see a painting in all the things
around. Nature is a big influence for me to create.
Not only by its colours and composition, but also the
deep inner peace and joy it brings inside me. Gives
me inner vastness, from which the creation process
emerges. It’s like making space within and all comes
through this space as a vision or a feeling.Sometimes
just watching the fire burns gives me so many ideas for
painting.So magic to watch this miracle of nature in
which the painting is changing every few seconds!I also
love to look at paintings and sometimes a color
combination or a beautiful composition could be a
creative influence for me. Not in a way to repeat it, but
more as a wider range of seeing different possibilities.
