Canvas "My Cage Is Empty My Bird Is Free"

I always tell a story about each painting. And how do those stories come about?

And just like you, the viewer: I stand in front of a newly completed painting, as if in front of my child, and I wonder what kind of person he will grow up to be?

And you can't program, you can't tell a child to be this way or that way - you can only watch and discover.

It's the same for me - I look and discover a feeling that arises within me, I remember a story that once happened or a person I met.

And I'm telling you.

Or I write poems, like today:

"You set the bird free"

Will we all be okay, will he still fly back?

The wind blows through my chest -

as if through an open door.

But you don't feel bad inside, it's just easy,

that you no longer need to hold on, that you are not afraid of losing,

can clench fists,

sleep peacefully tonight.

And when you wake up in the morning,

a wing will gently caress your face,

The bird will always return,

because you let him go."
