Where does your desire to express yourself through art come from?

I’ve always had the need to create, and so I guess the desire to express myself through art is an indelible part of my personality. 

What are your goals as an artist?

I want to continue working with the muse coming through me and enhancing my skills — so that whatever I create has a life of its own. 

What is your opinion on the cultural industry?

When culture is considered an industry, its value has already been diminished.

Do you think independent artists today have enough opportunities to share their creativity?

I don’t think independent artists have the opportunities they need. To that end, I’m in the process of setting up a production company to help filmmakers internationally get their work financed, distributed and promoted. 

What new project are you currently working on?

I’m working on a novel, with plans of turning it into a film. We’ll see where it goes.
