"I do not paint the mythological dreams of a thousand and one nights', I paint the hopes and dreams of real people. Under the cunning disguise of images of a thousand and one nights, I paint the thousand and one pains, aches, joys, desires and sorrows of people.
For me, the history of the world resembles a ring; you can not distinguish the beginning from the end, and in the same manner, you can not separate modernity from tradition. I would not be able to work without this connection to history
My colours are bright and childish. I do not present technically admirable or glorious paintings for pure decoration with no meaningful message in them. I believe an artistic creation is one in which the artist portrays a moment of truth with certain expressive forms, lines and colours"
