My work represents a private world of invented characters and imagined environments.
For me, this is the equivalent of a visual diary where I can freely explore the world of relationships
and their consequences. In order to do this, I create circumstances and fictional landscapes that take
both the viewer and the inhabitants of my paintings on challenging and diverse journeys.
The formal aspects of my work are intuitive and are reflected most clearly in the areas that I paint with a
playful, lose gesture. I balance the compositions in my work by combining these painterly areas with
more abstract geometrical forms. In my work, I seek to create an inner, personal conversation with the
hope of inspiring reflection on the part of the viewer as well.
