A Silent Explosion

His life has been colourful, mostly because he is never satisfied with the status quo. In his art he is constantly changing and his interest lies in every field of art. To his mind being an artist is an inner need or compulsion and does not necessarily require being talented at drawing.

"Drawing has hardly anything to do with art, no more than anything else. It is more important for að so-called artist to know how to manipulate a microphone like this one".
