Sketches and drawings are effective basics for my way of working in the figurative way. In any case a good timeless oblective excercise in the subjective sence of the word...
A professional painter has to have painting as a profession, if possible. Everyone knows this is very hard and many choose the amateur point of view, that it should just be a personal joy or burden... But portraits are a great excercise and I am grateful the Lord gave me this talent!
Inspired in Art by cosmic radiation, vibration of the air we breathe and geo-biological influences humans named feelings for colors amongst others... Burnes paint, melted wax and shredded money bills represent the economic world we live in, no matter what our lifeplan and vision might be!

In diferent countries I could have applied my monumental design skills, for which I have a diploma.
