My recent work is a reflection on the transient aspects of humanity. My relationship with my work is much the same as travelling in a foreign land and discovering new ways of approaching life and it’s various challenges. My work is purely the product of my imagination as I never know ahead what new magic my board or canvas holds for me. There is no outside subject to copy or interpret. Shapes literally emerges and appear as the paint slowly takes on different forms, textures and colours. And as in a new country, I am forced to watch and learn the new codes of communication with this emerging artwork: what message it may hold for me, what thoughts it triggers off, what memories it arouses.
As all these processes meander through me, the new painting is born, and me along with it.
