DESCRIPTION
It's when I'm working with watercolours that I have the most intense feeling of freedom. I get a sheet of paper. I cover its surface with water. I add a bit of colour, then another. They blend. Like a living thing. The imagesare born before your eyes. And these realities become your reality. You can't explain it. - Folon, from the Introduction
