REFLECTION

There is only one chance in life to explore, manage and execute the expression that comes from your inner self. Staying with a single style, form or technique would be equivalent to freezing the metaphormosis of my work, as well as the opportunity to imagine and create new visions each time they arise. That is what's keeps me alive!

What a great craftsman! The art of Rommel Valgart is very diverse, beautiful and precise. I especially like his black and white pieces because they have such order and perfection in them . Like a song or a structure you can rest your chaos in. Very , very beautiful and peaceful and I like it very much!
