Biography:

If I pick a rose and experience its beauty, I can sense an essence so vast that it opens a universe to me.

If I surround myself with foliage, the waters and sky, and experience their vastness and sublimity, I can sense their precious growth and movement in a blade of grass, in a droplet of water or in a patch of sky.

If I accept the many and opposite aspects of my nature and experience them as complementary components of my whole being, I may then sense freedom.

I paint about such general ideas and I clothe them in colours and textures that seem to me as beautiful as a rose. I embed them in forms that have a sense of becoming and growing as do the forms in Nature and I unfold and unveil spaces as if to search for underlying truths and essences. That is to say, my colours, textures, forms and spaces are not just metaphors or representations of a real world, they are a real world. A world in which non-materiality and materiality, mind and body, co-exist.

Abstraction and philosophy provide the fundamental basis for my work. I find the quality of the abstract in a blade of grass, in a droplet of water, in each breath of air. Abstraction suggests the poetic.
