After 34 years of teaching drawing, painting and repro photography, retired (?) still teaching 50+ as a volunteer; Publi.Art&design (Fr) page 28/29.- (Feb). 2018
About my work: At the age of 15 (1958) I decided to become a painter, under the motto "I want to learn everything". I'm not there yet. The technical side of things has taught me a lot to know what I am doing. My experience as a teacher of the principal subjects of colour and composition has taught me to emphasise the symbolism in both colour and form in my work.

在我任教期间，我开始阅读这种象征意义，这就是我变得拥有一种完全不同的方法，不仅创作而且阅读艺术品。
因此，我认为作为一名艺术家，我们表现出很大一部分个性。 我们创作的每一个作品，我们都会尽全力。 我们不知不觉地揭示了我们内部正在发生的事情。

由于有很多学生，每个学生对我来说都是一个独特的个体，所以我也与他们一起工作，并试图同情他们在工作中表达自己的尝试。 这意味着我自己没有固定的技巧，无法适应我想提出的主题。 因此每个作品都是不同的，我不是可口可乐画家，他的作品是相似的。

The question I am often asked is: do you know the people in your work? The answer is yes, either I know them personally, or it was a quick meeting on the street (street musicians), or they came voluntarily to pose and are then paid with a preliminary study. That way, everyone is happy and they are often present at the unveiling of the work.
