I came by art through what I’d say is Divine Organization. That is to say I met Art like one meets love with no expectations… Just being there at the right moment.
I was in Etterbeek Town hall, I had just quit my job, and I saw this “poster” that said “Plastic Arts” and for some reason I just wanted to know … to investigate. I had never drawn, painted or anything like that.
That is why I don’t like people saying they are not gifted.
Art has an incredible link to spirituality
Interview with Maya in September 2019.
Everything is an illusion, why?
How is this expressed in you art?
Do ideas just “come” to you?
Do you ever think you were going to become an artist?
Music or plastical arts?
Freedom is Discipline
