All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash

The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary.

My paintings are well-painted, not nimbly but patiently. My painting contains in it the message of pain. I think that at least a few people are interested in it. It's not revolutionary.

My painting took the place of all of this. I think work is the best.
