“As a self-taught enthusiast in the art of painting, particularly watercolor and pen & ink, I am very fascinated by the merging of colors and the play of lights and shadows. My preferences are landscapes and beautiful ancient villages around the world. I see beauty in the things around me, the architectural structure of houses, the natural curvatures of trees, the majestic structure of mountains and the changing scenes of the seas. Ordinary objects that transform into art, these are what happiness is to me.”
