Where do you find inspiration?To paraphrase René Descartes: I create, therefore I am... I find inspiration in history and the works of North European artists like H. Bosch, and P. Breughel, fueled by the mysterious cultures of Bronze Age Mesopotamia and Egypt. Modern artists and thinkers who influenced me were S. Dali and A. Breton, and I also find inspiration in nature.
What would you do with $25,000?I would expand on my studio and take a trip to certain inspiring ancient destinations of my dreams.
