Manifesto (About My Paintings)
Apart from the colorful world of all of us, there is a hidden character that we harbor within ourselves, which is formed by our feelings that we cannot reveal and will always be.
We are two people in one body. One is the visible in the real world, the other is the invisible in the opposite of what is seen in our brain.
We are the architects of our own prison that we set up in a corner of our brains. Actually, we have ourselves in black and white in that prison.
