“The world perceives me as a visual artist. In many reviews, I am called a “visionary”, but I don’t know what that means. To be honest, it’s not important to me. I write, compose, sculpt and do many other things. The 20th century produced this silly division between the arts, between everything. People have lost the bigger picture. I am fascinated by the Renaissance, when an artist could be an architect or a sculptor or a painter.
