'We have art so we don't die of truth' (Friedrich Nietzsche). 'Existing is elsewhere.' (André Breton).

Emotions speaks another language, expression of emotions are understood in all languages. From political statements to personal interpretations. I speak with my art, I see with my heart and feel with my mind. I communicate through my heart, through my desires, through my dreams in a world where there are no rules. I express through reality, to create a sur-reality. 

Surrealism is the epitome of an artist's imagination,“They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” (Frida Kahlo). “I believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one may so speak” (Andre Breton). For me Surrealism is the intoxication of the unconscious mind.

My artistic ability predominantly resides with films, art performance, paintings and piano compositions.
