Most of which has been left in the past now. By visualizing my memories through my art, I relive that beautiful moment in time. I capture thoughts, colors, sensations and fragrances of my experiences living in that spiritual and enchanting world. Growing up I talked to the animals: dogs, cats, birds, chickens, donkeys, lizards, trees and flowers. Some of these are not even around anymore. They have been traded in for the modern world of tourism, paved roads and buildings. It&#8217;s the destruction of my nostalgic childhood&#8230; This series will probably never have an ending, because I love having my inner child around. By documenting my memories, I relive my childhood over and over again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on the images below to see the paintings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"
