When he was a little boy, He wanted to be a driver like his father. He would sit in the front seat and observe the world around him. In one sense he was lucky because at that time very few people even had cars, but his childhood was also difficult because of his disability. Because he was always drawing the world that he saw around him, his mother encouraged him to become an artist by giving him paints, brushes, and pictures of famous paintings. At first, his paintings expressed sadness and frustration, his anger. They were dark and pessimistic paintings. One showed a disabled man in a pasture underneath a dark cloud, above which was God. What kind of God was it, he wanted to know, and that would leave a man in such misery? But these paintings only deepened his sense of frustration, his pessimism, so he began to paint the beautiful things that he saw around him – nature, portraits. He found, quite to his surprise, that his outlook changed. Through his art, he began to see the beauty in the world around him, despite the pain and suffering that is everywhere. Somehow, people can overcome their own difficulties. He began looking at the world and his life in a new way. He thought art at the University and paint in his mini studio. In that room, He was free to express the joy he feel for his wife and three children, and to produce things that will make people feel better, help them to cope with whatever problems and difficulties they had Sometimes he was asking why he is not an abstract painter as so many modern artists are. His answer was that so-called realism is much more than photography, although he sometimes used photographs in the process of creating a paintings. However one paints, one is searching, perhaps for something which cannot be found, the soul of a person, or a tree, or even a building. He was constantly learning new ways to explore the world around him through his work, and he was content in knowing that the search will deepen his understanding even though he couldn’t find the answers.
