a field of crowns

I believe there is such a thing as an internal “world.” Each and every one of us has one. These worlds are not imaginary. In our minds, they are reality. Just as a writer expresses his world in words, a dancer with movement, and a movie-director, through moving images, I express mine through painting because I am an artist. That is my role, and that is my work.
