"The world is becoming more and more authoritarian. And we have to fight against it."

"My art is not about politics. My art is about life, about human rights, about freedom."

"If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future."

"My work is about the human condition, about the struggles, the hopes, the dreams of ordinary people."

"I think the most important thing for an artist is to be authentic, to be genuine, to be true to himself."
