for madeliene, in art there are no rules and principles. she believes that all
artists can paint what they feel, imagine and observe. the important element
is the present feeling of wanting to create, the first impression. every work
is a challenge to her, it covers her wide space of thoughts, feelings and
purposes. her art is an expression and a form of therapy, it isolatesher with
the present and locks her in the world of freedom and creativity.
