To better understand my work and grasp some of the creative forces behind it, I am offering you an overview of the artists who inspire, amaze, and deeply move me...
Of course, they are not the only ones (I particularly admire Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat) but these are the most influential in my work, or so it seems to me...
