"I exhibit the world in my head, images that are born there, but distorted by wrong associations.Villains and happy freaks rule undisturbed. They torment and worry their creator. I let my imagination run free. My drawings recreate my fears that nothing is stable or real. Beauty is a mask of ugliness. Monstrosity reigns. I represent this idea in different forms: the ugly crowd, the ugly loner, the ugly object. I find it everywhere. The creatures have lost their purity."
