The beauty of the landscape - where sand, water, reeds, birds, buildings, and people all somehow flowed together - has never left me.
Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid
I am eccentric, I admit it, but I am not a nutcase.

The paintings have only ever been ways of exploring architecture. I don't see them as art.
