I have painted one thing throughout my long life - Beauty. I was looking at what is beautiful in the world? Why is this world so beautiful? My heart told me that I loved it. And when I see beauty, I am right there with the old masters.

Like all of us, I have been through different stages during my 84 years, and my art has naturally changed style with these stages. These distinctive styles of art are very much reflective of my life.... of my subconscious state at the time.

When I'm painting, I'm unconscious. I just do it because it is instinctive. I don't know what I'm doing. I just love and enjoy doing that. But the one common theme was painting beautiful things which turned up in my art through landscapes, life, flowers, and nature.
