"To him who in the love of Nature holds communion with her visible forms, she speaks a various language. I have found the truth of this statement since my childhood. The magic of Nature's inspiring company, splendors of the four seasons, beauty in its various forms has continued to attract me ever since. It has possessed and prompted me to paint. Nature has been my love, philosophy, expression…
Everything! What is lovely, has transformed into another loveliness and manifested itself on canvas through the language of the brush and paint. Who am I? None, but a part of Nature, an expression of her creativity!"
