«I LIKE EVERYBODY'S ART»


« The world of food and the visual arts are very similar.  First, both can evoke powerful emotions. I believe that food has the capacity to stir something deep inside a person. The same can be said for a good work of art. At the same time, in both food and art different colors make people feel a certain way and can stimulate a person’s senses either in a positive or negative way.  For instance, it’s known that blue food is the least appealing while other bright colors can be tantalizing.  In art, when the human portrait is painted in shades of blues, this can make a viewer feel hopeless and gloomy. As for textures, if a chef creates a dish and something goes wrong and it turns out like formless slop, well that can be very unappetizing even though the flavors are correct.  Similarly, if I sculpt a giant doughnut properly, you can imagine putting it in your mouth and letting the colorful icing dissolve at bit on the roof of your mouth before biting the soft and delicate tasty dough.»
