Nobody, except I tell them, can figure out that in this painting lies a figure.

Life, when lived properly, is like playing in this giant park called Earth.
Find the thing you love to play with, and turn it into your work.

I play with images, to savor the magnificence of sight.
Playing is the best way to give thanks to the Creator of this giant park, and to fully enjoy the fruits and drinks that the park abundantly supplies.

with your naked eye
