5 Architecture

  • 1. My buildings don't speak in words but by means of their own spaciousness.
  • 2. 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.
