Biography
I like paintings, music, literature and most of all, movies :o. I also enjoy beauty, color, abstraction and philosophy, deconstruction, and sincerity. I have an intrinsic affinity toward the unhinged, the off kilter, the absurd, and chaos in its many forms.
Sidebar, love is the most interesting (read beautiful) concept of all and there will never be enough romance movies <3.
