5 Architecture

  • 1. I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
  • 2. Form follows function.
  • 3. Revived in this country the long forgotten beauties of Gothic architecture.
