"In the 30 years since I started to paint, I have heard comments that my work looks like or reminds people of Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, Monet etc. While it is flattering to receive such comments,
I would like to point out that I have never studied these artists' ways of expressions. In fact, I have never attended an art class or studied art history. I did attend a drawing class briefly, to get the hang of how to draw the human body with correct proportions etc, but the class bored me and I
left it….
Looking back at my art, I realize that many of the individual pieces are time documents
of my whereabouts in life. This is the way I paint. Each piece is original. And just like my life,
it never gets boring".
