Most of my paintings in the exhibition titled CHANCON or Chance-Consciousness Art have an inspiration that is beyond conscious mind and thought. The paintings created themselves by one in a million or billion or still trillion possibilities. why only that chance that created what becqme my finished painting? I dont have the answer nor I am curious to find. Suffice is that with a minimum of control--normally a line here or there I create nothing from my consciousness.

Mona Lisa does not smile anymore
"One should realize that ancient religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Judaism were never in a hurry to change others to their way of thinking. They evolved through inner spiritual dynamics over long centuries.
