																			-The 
																			Adventures 
																			of 
																			Ardeshir 
																			and 
																			Cinderella 
																			(The 
																			two 
																			mentioned 
																			characters 
																			are 
																			imaginary) 
																			
																			
																			- 
																			The 
																			heroes 
																			in 
																			my 
																			paintings 
																			and 
																			stories 
																			all 
																			are 
																			philosophers 
																			who 
																			have 
																			no 
																			school. 
																			In 
																			other 
																			word, 
																			their 
																			minds 
																			are 
																			totally 
																			clean 
																			of 
																			any 
																			philosophical 
																			experience. 
																			
																			
																			- I 
																			feel 
																			satisfied 
																			with 
																			the 
																			hypothesis 
																			that 
																			says: 
																			wicked 
																			creatures 
																			will 
																			get 
																			the 
																			specific 
																			knowledge 
																			in 
																			their 
																			post-death 
																			time. 
																			According 
																			to 
																			this, 
																			I 
																			guess 
																			characters 
																			like 
																			Timur 
																			has 
																			also 
																			got 
																			it. 
																			
																			
																			- My 
																			passion 
																			is 
																			painting; 
																			it 
																			means 
																			such 
																			a 
																			parallel 
																			world 
																			to 
																			me. 
																			It’s 
																			so 
																			difficult 
																			to 
																			explain 
																			how 
																			the 
																			one 
																			can 
																			live 
																			and 
																			exist 
																			in a 
																			painting, 
																			but 
																			in 
																			my 
																			dreams 
																			I 
																			see 
																			that 
																			over 
																			and 
																			over 
																			again. 
																			I 
																			always 
																			was 
																			wondering 
																			how 
																			someone 
																			can 
																			live 
																			in a 
																			two 
																			dimensional 
																			painting! 
																			And 
																			found 
																			it 
																			once 
																			in a 
																			dream 
																			that 
																			goes 
																			back 
																			to 
																			2004. 
																			There 
																			were 
																			beautiful 
																			heavens 
																			and 
																			delirious 
																			hells, 
																			but 
																			to 
																			me, 
																			it 
																			was 
																			just 
																			heavens. 
																			
																			
																			-what 
																			is 
																			indeed 
																			that 
																			leads 
																			the 
																			artist 
																			to 
																			abstraction? 
																			No 
																			idea! 
																			The 
																			reason 
																			for 
																			an 
																			artist 
																			may 
																			just 
																			be 
																			something 
																			like 
																			being 
																			or 
																			getting 
																			modern. 
																			
																			
																			-I 
																			really 
																			like 
																			Harold 
																			Lloyd, 
																			because 
																			he 
																			represents 
																			order 
																			in 
																			disorder, 
																			honesty, 
																			happiness, 
																			innocent 
																			wickedness, 
																			triumph 
																			of 
																			the 
																			will, 
																			love 
																			and 
																			passion.
