Persia influenced the way I paint. After my first year of staying there, I also realized that my job had changed. Persia is a huge country. Elsewhere the climate is tropical, else alpine. And when I returned to Greece, 8 years later, it took me a while to find the Greek light. I returned to Greece in December 1978 and I came to stay for a short period of time to see my mother. I came and never returned to Persia.
