I could be called as an 'doodle artist', because I lack the patience to draw sketches. If I try to do a sketch and then a painting from it, I get bored with the subject very soon. To me drawing and painting is a way to express myself, my inner feelings and emotions. What I don't have in technique, I replace with emotion and passion to draw. My usual way to begin a picture is to get a pencil in my hand, take it to meet the paper and let it make forms to it. I don't plan it, not much anyway, and what ever comes to the paper, has a story to it. The story comes as I draw, sometimes it is short, sometimes longer. To me stories and pictures are all the same, I can't separate them. I can't draw without a story, but if the drawing doesn't come out from the pencil, so the story won't be completed either. I do write stories without drawing, though, but they are different kind of stories, than those that I get to my head, when I draw. To me my pictures are alive, they are enteties of they own, the story they have makes them to be.
