DIMITRIS MICHLIS

"Creativity is a personal function. I work every day – I do not wait to be inspired in order to start. While working, I try to open up the creative space of my personality, which I believe is inside every human being. When this space is opened, then a work of art is born or begins to be born. So, all this repressed creative energy is released, and my morale is strengthened. I paint anything that I like to see. I try to feel it by painting. When what I see and what I feel is logically and visually imprinted on the surface, then I have a work of art in front of me that I like to admire."
