As I paint, there's nothing quite as exhilarating as witnessing a story manifest before my very eyes. The muse behind each of these stories is imbued with humor, happiness, and layers of sagacity, always crafted with a specific purpose in mind. Each narrative is designed to prompt viewers to embark upon their own journey of self-discovery, whether it be through music, literature, or the pursuit of a personal goal. At the age of 80, the message resonates with me more than ever: it's time to stop cutting life short and start exploring all that remains undiscovered. Like a butterfly, I am undergoing a series of metamorphoses, transitioning from the narrow perspective of a caterpillar, through the uncomfortable phase of the chrysalis, until finally emerging with a butterfly's view of the world. As I continue to grow and evolve, may my paintings serve as a source of inspiration for others seeking to embark on their own transformative journey.
