Canvas "My Cage Is Empty My Bird Is Free"

I always tell a story about each painting. And how do those stories come about?

Well, just like you, who are watching: I stand in front of the just finished painting, as if in front of my child, and I guess what kind of person he will grow up to be?

And you can't program it, you can't tell the child to be one way or another - you can only watch and discover.

It's the same for me - I look and find a feeling that arises in me, I remember a story that happened once or a person I met.

And I tell you.

Or I write verses, like today:

"You set the bird free

are we together, will he still fly?

Wind through the chest -

like through an open door.

But I don't look inside for you, it's easy,

that you don't have to hold on anymore, that you're not afraid to lose,

can clench fists

sleep peacefully tonight.

And when you wake up in the morning

a wing will gently caress your face,

The bird will always return

because you let him go."
