“When I was 32, my therapist told me: \u2018You are an artist\u2019”. I smiled, saying: \u201cThat would be too good to be true\u201d. I started painting and realized that nothing is too good to be true. I am fascinated by human beings, our feelings, and the ways in which we can connect with each other, or not. When I paint, I don’t think. So painting is my way of escaping my eternal inner chatter for a while and expressing what lies behind it. The most beautiful things in life we cannot see, only feel. Welcome to my world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
