“In art I am not looking for perfection or revolution, I am looking for an adventure sanctioned by a subjective sense of beauty. My painterly pedigree is very important to me, but in fact I am a mongrel whose blood flows in a swift stream: sculpture, performance, theater, film, and even architecture and interiors. With the carelessness of an infant, I lick everything that I encounter on my way as an artist. I have obvious tendencies towards monumentalism and expanding, if not exceeding, the framework. In recent years, my favorite painting base is an advertising banner, which I am giving new meanings with all the richness of painting means I know. This is how painting recycling counterattacks marketing arts. Years ago I fell in love with a scythe. I have certainly saved over four hundred beautiful slender reapers from the open hearth furnace. I use them to create steel wings and eagles. “
