Thank you Linda,

I consider that anyway it is not a matter of choice:
in order to astonish or create a feeling of "marvel" in others you have to constantly be in admiration of life yourself.
The more intensity you give to the moment, the more intense it would be your painting.
Nothing more dreadful than a boring model, with a boring attitude and an "always used" technique...
Painting is a constant challenge before your own idea of perfection, before the expectations of your surrounding and certainly a huge dose of religious belief that one day you obtain the "ultimate emotion" and like a surfer on a wave you won't leave it again.
