"Art is a way of communicating the perception of life, of the changes it brings and of the way one has to let things come and go and happen. It is my way of seeing and expressing myself in the world around me."




Seeking the truth of things in this world with all its natural beauty, there's a development in my work from simply describing what I see to a deeper reflection about this inherent truth.

Abstraction allows me to express this reflection in a very subjective way, letting my own perception mix with the objective world. The subjective comes in through associations which are formed by experiencing the objective world.

Thoughts, emotions and subconscious elements flow into my work to express and communicate this reflective perception. Only by recognizing and allowing my own response and feelings am I open to whatever is happening around me, engaging in the nature of this world. In this sense every painting is a journey from discovering the world to discovering myself and visa versa.

That's why the subject of my paintings can be anything, still life, landscape, human figure or expressions of an inner state of being - whatever catches my eye or my attention in that particular moment of painting. I choose the material that is most suitable to express my reflection and for describing the subject.

There's a need to paint, the reward is in the process of painting itself.

Seeing people relate to my work opens up another way of communicating about the subjective and the objective. There's a connectedness that results from looking at the paintings and a flow of communication.
