“Music has always been a very important aspect in my life. Honestly, I can’t live without it. It comforts me or gives pleasure. I don’t make distinction between genres but I do in quality. In my studio music plays two roles: Sometimes I need music to distract me from the development of a drawing if I’m stuc into a rut. And in the developing fase music can alleviate the hours of craft. I draw sitting or bend over at the table... At these moments music gives me a reason to stand up and make some dancemoves.”
