Who I am
- The female form is basic in my work because it serves in exploring various aspects of the female psyche. As artists often do, I too, tend to put down on paper or on canvas things which I am ‘’fighting’’ with, trying to make sense of what is happening around and inside me, so I suppose the female forms appearing in my work sometimes represent me. How the female deals with life, her view of the world presents endless opportunities to develop subject matter as well as the body itself which is a battle ground and a temple at the same time.
