There is even more freedom with art because there are no rules, restrictions, or guidelines unless self imposed. Artists are frequently asked to write a statement about their art or the message they are trying to convey. This is a hard concept to understand for me because being an artist was never a conscious decision. It is the way I was born, like being human. My art does have meaning to me, but I believe that the viewer also needs the opportunity to make their own interpretation.
Some symbols have universal meaning, like leaves for growth, hands and faces for humanity.
Other symbols have more personal meaning to the viewer or the artist. It's what I think about, what s going on in my head. The ideas keep coming. If my work can offer insight, evoke questions, or add beauty to the world, then I have done my job as an artist. Summer International 2000, Galeria d'Art Zero, Barcelona, Spain.
