Something that is impromptu is done or said without any preparation or planning. It is improvisatory and spontaneous. To me, art is just that: with no presuppositions or predetermined tactics. It is about the moment when subtle appearances take over the experience of life. Similar to what a foreteller or a magician does. They anticipate something without having experienced it themselves. In any shape, form, or concept, art is to conjure the unseen. A work of art becomes objective in the moment that the artist has no control or dominance; otherwise, there would be no magic in art. Over the years, I have created my series of drawings with the logic of surprising myself first. They come from a place that I do not know, and once they are recorded, my audience and I perceive them as reality.
