I am on a self-imposed and relentless quest for character. But to bring out a person's distinctive nature, I cannot rely on observation alone. Outward signals, no matter how keenly interpreted, are never fully conclusive.

To complete the picture, I must use my intuition and, when that too reaches its limit, I must turn to my final, and incidentally inexhaustible, resort: the imagination.

For me this is a perfectly valid way of depicting my subjects. I do not believe in an absolute truth. For me, every person is a creation of their onlooker. People are apparitions. They don't manifest in just one single form but in as many forms as there are individual onlookers, or rather perceivers. Perceiving means conceiving.

In this respect, we are all figments of each other's imagination. We are visions and at the same time visionaries. Some of us just like to commit our visions to paper and canvas.
