Artist’s Statement

My visual thinking, connected to the colours and forms of nature and their emotional value, is directed inwards and floats into the realm of the not-yet-known in search of harmony. The diversity and unpredictability of living processes are the source of my ideas. From the first brushstroke to the last, many internal dialogues take place – from one moment to the next – where nothing is predetermined. The process unfolds and continually changes, like life itself.

I try to capture the sensory, the pre-discursive, the continually creative consciousness – the movement that seeks to shape, form and fix, while at the same time disrupting what has been formed and breaking it open to its own unpredictability. This inward search becomes the spark for endless discoveries, new experiences and new life, giving the work its intimacy and permanence. In this way it finds its own resonance.
