“Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.”
- Igor Stravinsky -
Music is very important to me. Besides I love the sound of music sinds I was a little boy it also inspires me during my work as an artist.
Sometimes I use the rythem or the melody to lead the paint, and sometimes the abstraction of music can influence my art.
It doesn't work if it is not open"
- Frank Zappa -
