• From the beginning of my career, my main
  artistic motivation was to rediscover, transform
  and share neglected ideas from the past. I have
  been fortunate to be able to share my work with
  millions of people. I hope that my work will
  eventually inspire other artists to learn more
  about the vast and rich patrimony of European
  Art, so that others can enjoy the wealth of ideas
  that is often hidden with the passage of time.
