There is lots of ways to be as a person, and some people expres their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation is to make something wonderful and put it out there. You never meet the people, you never shake their hands, you never hear their story or tell yours, but somehow in the act of making something with the great deal of care and love , something is transmited there and it is a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation. So we need to be true to who we are and remember what is really important to us. Steve Jobs Those words of Steve Jobs express perfectly my feeling when I paint!! The reason I paint is to show my appreciation to the life itself and to the rest of the humanity !
