"Grotesque becomes attractive, normal becomes super human. I define my work as potentially attractive-aggressive with touches of immoral impetuosity, seasoned with transitory madness, a lot of colour and some hood. People call my work musical. I call my paintings my children because for me each picture is like the act of childbirth a mix of happiness, force, pain and a lot of effort."
