STATEMENT
My work is colorful and luminous and is painted with layers of paint. I love to start intuitively to see what appears on the canvas. I can start with an idea, a picture, but it may as well be emotions or feelings. I am keen to sense, look, and use the full range that lives in us; love, passion, joy, sorrow, all the aspects of life. These contrasts represent who I am and who we are as humans. I can be inspired by many things, but nature, people, animals, history and the traces we leave behind always intrigue me.
