Working for nearly 40 years as a professional artist, my research on the subject of immortality in art, drew me to three important elements of creation; behaviour, pulse and entity. The combination of these elements became the point of the birth and rebirth of the soul of my painting in multiple layers of voice and gesture; of energies, thoughts and emotions that lie behind the physical nature of things. I believe that immortality in art is achieved when both physical and mental energy unite in the process of creation, which brings me to a conclusion: it is not what we paint but how we paint.
