| To paint for me is to
express my soul. In the creative process of expression through colors
and form I find release and contentment. I like to trigger an emotional
response in the viewer of my paintings, expressing the hidden within
known forms. Sharing what I see in this world with others. I work with oil on canvas, a fluid medium of colors on a light ground where I can create texture. I like to work with brushes and my fingers, it feels like a direct connection to the process of creation. Colors, light and shadow, forms and the duality of expression are important to me. I am inspired by an idea or a form, an unusual moment. I am content when what I try to express feels complete in the painting. Recognizable forms with concealed meanings. Ever since being a child I liked to express my soul through of color and form, with my hands. I want to display both sides of duality as belonging together, requiring each other. Harmony and disharmony, positive and negative, strength and weakness, beauty and ugliness, light and shadow. I am satisfied when the viewer of my paintings is touched emotionally and intellectually. |
