The Double Chair

In this episode of Brushstrokes of Being, The Double Chair, I bring two voices into dialogue: the Artist, living for unity, diversity, and transformation, and the Philosopher, seeking meaning in those values.

The conversation weaves together childhood curiosity, music, the Old Masters, the quiet rebellion of painting, the essential role of diversity, and the distinction between discrimination and racism. At its core lies the question of why I do what I do, and who I am as a human and as an artist.

This is not an interview with answers; it is an invitation to ask questions again and again and to live as an artist.
