STATEMENT
The many facets of the sea are the inspiration for my paintings. Sometimes stormy, sometimes calm and always powerful, turning a sail boat into the toy of the waves and the wind.
Like a wave pushing the ship from behind, my palette knife runs over the canvas.
The moods of the sea are a reflection of the soul dictating the rhythm of my movements.
The reflections of the clouds, the sunbeams, the incredible expanse and depth of the sea are the colors of my palette.
