Our daily environment and objects keep much more magic than any fantasy. I like to discover new facets of reality, to find wonders in trifles that we don’t notice - this is intrigue and even temptation. The artist is always a discoverer, because no one before or after will look at what is happening in this way, with such a vision as he. Paints are a way of knowing and communicating with oneself, with the field, the sky, with you, and with who comes after. O.P.
