Once the whole paper was filled, I looked at it, and I put it aside. Frankly I wasn’t too happy about what I saw. In contrast, painting the next one was a great pleasure. I understood that I couldn’t paint what was in my mind because I had no tools to be able to express them. Hence I changed strategy and I started to simply play with aquarelle and paper and just enjoy how colors melt in water, how too much water soaks the paper, how different colors meet and interact with each other. I was a kid having fun while painting the second picture (top right). This gave me confidence, and as I finished it, I immediately grabbed the brush to paint the third picture (bottom right).

At the same time, if I manage to disconnect, if I can get into a meditative state of mind, and just follow what comes naturally, I usually like the outcome. I let it out what’s inside without passing it through my mind, without forming ideas, without applying any filters. [...] Painting is a form of meditation to me where I can connect to the child inside, to God, to the universe, to my unconditioned self, you choose.
