It confirms her own deep experience of life in relation to art. I believe creation is not an intellectual process. Art grown like a plant in the humus of a personality and of life with its pains and joys. A positive acceptance of life and particularly of it sorrows and difficulties can make a human being strong to transmit lasting values to others through his or her work, not so much by a reasoned program, but by the natural and spontaneous productiveness of a love nature.
