He considers himself an experimenting artist always ready to make the next discovery and to produce something new. His inspiration comes from the subconscious mind and the belief that the purpose of creation and beauty isn’t about how things are perfect, but rather how being human making mistakes and living life separates us from the divine purity of God, or the static perfection of math and machines.
