While a child I began painting. I went to art schools but kept my painting private and become instead an interior architect. Have had some exhibition .I paint feelings, idols and role models like Ganesh, Vajrasattva and Milarepa. The self-portrait here show different moods in me, one the feelings of trust, love and joy, the other shows watchfulness with "cat mind".
When I paint it is easy in the beginning, then there is often a period of struggle. Suddenly a flow comes and its so easy, sometimes even like someone else is painting. To me there is parallels with painting and meditation, says the Swedish painter Monica Riton.
