"In these paintings I try to express my belief that human life is but a journey with no beginning or end, that there is a distinction between our limited and short physical embodiment, and our eternal spirit that has its own cycles.."

Life moves in cycles. The depicted animal figure is not a specific animal but an emblem of any living creature that is born, grows and dies. Blue is the color of purification.
