'Param deals primarily with easel painting, I love the smell of turpentine combined with oils. ' [...] It's not always about making our work awe-inspiring, the most important thing is that it should not go unnoticed, indifferent. My works have a very personal character, they are the result of my experiences, memories, dreams. Very often the creative impulse is music evoking images, associations, evoking emotions that are difficult to define. Therefore, in my paintings appear quite real characters in situations detached from reality, closer to the realm of dreams.'
