My painting carries with it the message of pain.

Painting completed my life.

I don't paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality.

I paint flowers so they will not die.

Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.

I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
