- Artist - PS -

  Art creates balance in my life
  it's not regards my genius creativity

  The search for the right line or a brilliant sentence
  an expression that challenges myself

  I wish to decorate the world in delightful colors
  dare to stretch personal experience up to something universal

  A self-taught painter who creates abstract works
  where the soul emerges during the process

  As eternal testament that has neither beginning nor closing
  My life ... my choice

  Who tells this narrative story?
  the painter, the poet ... a little human

Anne-Lise, i hadn’t realized you, like me, are also a visual artist!Thus, i truly could immerse myself in the content of this gifted poem. I will add that even when a poem might Flow right out, editing is done, & so for me writing is work, but my drawing is pleasure. For me, it is more discovery by the hour…understand? Hmmm my love! Your always excellence is laudible!
