My personal heroes
Karas Gallery
August 21th – 30th 2015
Opening of the exhibition on 21th of August at 7:00 pm
“Every man is a hero, every day. You do not have to be Thor, Captain America or Elephant to be a hero. Every day gives us 24 hours for some heroic act, no matter how small. We just might recognize it or, if nothing, else classify the waste, RECYCLE!
There are billion galaxies, the universe has no boundaries, therefore I do not impose boundaries on the viewers while they are watching the paintings, nor do I impose boundaries on myself while I paint and interpret the way I see heroes, the Earth and all of us.”
