I love working with materials that are giving me a deep feeling, like paper, colour pencil, pastel or tempera. They are transparent, don't predominate; leave a trace, but disappear easily, making room for a new world of feeling. I like space, like a womb, cozy and warm, from which opens a miraculous world. I do not want to realize, to attach any value, or to understand it. I want to experience her mystery, and pass that on. That gives me satisfaction in life.
