“As an artist, I’m humbled by profound constraints, that coexist with boundless limits. I’m grateful that early in my life I was captivated and captured by the beauty of my homeland, and was not detached from the tragedies and joys of those who share the same space. In this show, I remained faithful to the power of color as the enchanter and collaborator with imagination. The show represents the sum of three journeys that intermingles with our lives and emotions, before Color leaves us.”
