"...I paint the bow of the ships. In my eyes, this special feature is the dynamic element of their form, their identity. Should they be persons that would be their face, the feature that would reveal every hidden fold of their origin and behavior; the single part that would fight ferociously the defiant sea world...
...Ships have the significance of milestones both in my life and in my painting. Since my childhood, I became acquainted with these heavy, metallic beasts which roam tirelessly across the seas. I have loved them. I have created a bond with the mystic of their dark bulk in the evening, with their airy, yet imposing appearance through the morning fog..."
