1. I have been asked to speak briefly about Art..what is Art? What does Art mean to people? How does it impact their lives? What is the true value of Art? I can tell you what Art has meant to MY life.
2. At my age of 78 I can say, that If I could be born again, I would choose to be born an Artist again. It has been immensely satisfying, a true privilege to be able to convert your passion into your profession.
3. The world of Art has taught me to be believe in my own creativity. Not to be influenced by anyone and create my own style that has allowed me to express my true self.
4. The world of Art has given me the privilege to know and work side by side with the greatest Masters of our time, such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Cesar Manrique. I have been blessed to know the King of Spain on a personal level, to have met the Shah of Persia and his wife Farah Diba, Presidents of governments, too many stories and too little time to tell you!
5. For this charity auction I was happy to donate a painting from my most recent collection, never before shown to the world, a true gift from me to all you Art lovers today. To me it symbolises true strength, true power, true beauty and true nobility.
6. Confucius said, that life is a mystery to be lived, not a puzzle to be solved. I hope that the mystery of my Art will continue to inspire you and continue to live through you. Thank you.
