Artist's statement
I seek to embrace the beauty of the moment and the ephemeral nature of life. By exploring color, light and shape, my aim is to reflect the emotional undercurrents of human life in my art and to evoke feelings and moods in the viewer.
My work is figurative, exploring landscapes of the human mind with symbolism and imagination. I’m inspired by many different art forms and styles, including classical art and contemporary abstract art.
I paint mainly with acrylics and oils, in pursuit of fusing the representational and the abstract. I enjoy exploring the subtle dynamics between chaos and order, which is why I like to begin a painting with a spontaneous and intuitive use of acrylics. After that I let my imagination find patterns, symbols or even a story in the underpainting, and finally begin to construct the final image with oil paint.
