I am a collector of the weirdest things, I like to collect coins and bills from different countries, a habit inherited from my grandfather. I also like to collect printed cards like tarot although I do not read them or even know what they mean. I even like the idea that because I don't know the true meaning I can give them whatever meaning I want. This makes me want to make a painting around them giving them my own meaning, interpreting them to something that has happened to me or the future I would like to have. I also collect little crosses and buttons and keys and other trinkets like that because I think they can be used to make art, although some may think the real reason is that in my past life I used to be a magpie, (you know, those birds that steal anything shiny to put in their nests). And you should see what my "nest" (also known as "painting studio") looks like... full of little things inside boxes waiting to be used in art, to be combined with paint, to be given a new format and a new story.
I also used to be an architect and in a way I still am. I am making new tiny worlds in canvas, paper and wood.
