Style

     Dear Fran,

     I do not have a clearly defined pictorial physiognomy that makes my works instantly recognizable. And that's how I want to continue for the moment.

     In music, sculpture, literature... I like the artist to surprise me with each piece. Consequently, I don't want my work to be homogeneous or repetitive. I have long since put aside the assertion of a personal aesthetic and I don't care in the least if some amateurs and so-called experts in painting are bothered by this.

     I aspire to my own way of composing, even if to do so I have had to draw on the work of others who have come before me.

    I neither have nor should I hide the fact that reminiscences of previous works by those who preceded me are something natural, of course, and I try to imprint my personality on each canvas I begin.

    Continuing to do what everyone else is doing would not be a merit for me; I prefer to go further with my 'style' and fail in the attempt than to adapt to the dictates that gallery owners and pseudo-experts dictate these days.

     Y. a.
