- Garsot's Message
This is what I do best. I love what I'm doing. My message is that this is a way to transmit some poisitive messages to people. This is not a political style. This is something that most people are interested in today, a clean and healthy environment. That's why I show this in my paintings, in a realistic way or through surreal expression. Elements of surreal and real are related. They talk to each other and together they form a unique expression and always in my themes there is an optimistic feeling.
I'd love my art to be like a substitute for doctor's drugs.I'd like anyone who sees my artwork to say, "Yes! This is a good day today!" After that you don't have to fight with anyone.
I'm sure that I'm doing something good with my work. I don't know if I'm changing the history of Art for more or less an inch, but because I love it I'm pleased with what I'm doing. I love people and I'd like to create anything that will make everyone feel good for a better tomorrow.S. G. G.
