I am interested in the patterns we weave through our daily interactions with our environment and with each other, expending and exchanging energy and information, the synergy between the personal and the universal and the tension between the treasured ideal and pragmatic reality.
My observations on human nature and the communal creation of contemporary culture, are filtered through current thinking in the fields of science, psychology and philosophy. I find inspiration through research into metaphysics, religion and modern myth-making.
I see my paintings as by-products of an intuitive, intellectual and emotive process, a physical expression of a contemplative practice. Abstract forms are more fluent when it comes to explorations into the nature of things which tend to defy logic and reason. The openness and ambiguity of abstract formats facilitates the personal interpretations of the individual viewer to be imposed on my own and as such initiates a dialogue between artist and viewer.
