SHORT BIOGRAPHY

I was Born in 1955.What happened to me is not very important.

When I was a child, whenever I sensed the smell of blood and sweat my soul went mad.

A dark star was my homeland I was sent to earth, to free which would carry me as a dark object far away from the sun with super cosmic threads in space leaving my paintings behind, I want my last farewell to be as quiet as my life.
