My Landscapes
In my landscapes, my love of travelling and exploring different parts of the world is revealed. What I do is capture the moods and thoughts that certain places evoke so I can revisit them again and again. In essence what I create is an emotional album of my favourite places in the world, for me to revisit and for others to enjoy.
My figurative work
In thesefigurative paintings I am exploring the many facets of life as an interaction with the world around us. I am intrigued by the idea that we can merely be aware and conscious of ourselves as 'being in the world' through our sensory perceptions. Through perception and interaction with this world, and in particular with other human beings close to us, we form our own version of reality, including our own identity in this world.
My abstract work
In this series I am pushing the landscape towards abstraction and I tryto find an intensity best descibed as silence: the silence in the light, silence in the composition, but also a silence created by the way I try to find a balance between the accidental and the intended. Rather then dictating the viewer what to think or feel, I ultimately seek to create a space in this silence that the viewer can fill with his/her own thoughts and feelings. In doing so I hope to allow a connection with the artwork that is dynamic and lasting rather than instant and fleeting.
