"What I am looking for is cached in the word "create". For me, the deep need to paint is revealing something that would greatly fulfill my journey. I question why, what and how. Psychology, aesthetics and the phenomena of painting itself...the study of waht maes the world go round...are all included in that point of light I am going towards."  - Alexis Kyriak
