Artist Statement
As an artist, my goal is simple; explore the world around me and express what I see and feel through my artwork. I spend a lot of time observing, this lets me absorb details that I will use as a starting point for a painting.
I love experimenting and am always looking for new techniques. My key words are balance, contrast, and colour. I construct my paintings carefully focusing on the visual qualities of shape and space, texture and light.
I don’t try to depict reality, but rely on the aforementioned qualities to convey my feelings and make things visible. My canvases are a mix of formal elements and potential narrative. Images originate in fragments of personal and cultural history, traces of places once visited, of colours seen.
My ultimate aim is to have the pleasure of seeing my work come alive in front of an audience. I especially enjoy the challenge and excitement of creating works for a commission which will fulfill a client's expectations. My art is a lot about establishing a connection.
