most paintings were inspired by old Chinese poems, though some were inspired by poems written by friends, or sometimes, by myself
- it was my constant attempt to introduce at least one oriental elememt in the works, be it oriental poem as source of inspiration, or oriental calligraphy as form, or as brushworks, or as spiritual force, or as ideas in order to give an insight different from one who is inspired by orientalism yet rooted in western roots. As an oriental with oriental roots, yet takes inspiration from the Orient not from a western ground, yet expressed in western terms in order for a continued linkage of western -eastern pictorial dialogue to develop
