”Once, all of a sudden I was captured by the desire — which I immediately realized — to draw my poem with the words of that very poem. To voice a thought and feeling to draw them with the letters of the words.
Thus, the graphic form was determined. This form is harmonic for me because of its author’s independence, for I am writing my own texts. It is something like “graphic songs. In the context of the form calligraphy is the movement of feeling, sense and rhythm which steppes beyond the exterior space leaving a trace on paper, which can be a sign, symbol, image or an abstract drawing”.
