“Being an artist was never easy for me, it’s like being on a rollercoaster. I’m 80 years old now and I painted almost all my life. I loved every moment of creation. There were times it was going well, I sold a lot of paintings, I had exhibitions, and life was great, but there were times I had no choice but to work in a supermarket or drive a taxi. Art taught me a lot about life, and I strongly think that if you ever find out what you want to do in life, you have to go for it. Don’t let anybody put you off it.”
