Direct flow from intuition. Random and honest play with colours and textures. I let my
intuition be my guide, my brain tells me what to do next. I don't plan what creature to
paint, I don't have it in my imagination. I play and play until I can see it. I discover the
creature and work with it.
When the work is finished I observe and try to understand what it means. Meaning is the
most important part. Intuition opens a creative channel that brings universal meaning,
about life. It is a surprise to me as it is to the viewer. Understand the depth. What does
that creature mean? What words come up? What does that mean in my life? What
question does it answer?
