Karakire Strong

‘In my mind painting is a game full of tribulation, joy and surprise. It is a collision of bits of my memory and emotions, which finally settle down on the canvas. The creation of my painting is like an adventure full of uncertainty. The significance of painting is that l can face my true self.’
