In my art, I am concerned with the way a painting feels and the presence it has. The subject matter is always secondary to the form and the colour. In most cases, my painting is not a representation of something. It is a thing in itself – a semi-alive object into which I transferred my energy and to which I gave life. I am not merely trying to imitate something in nature – I am trying to create an object that looks as if it is also an organic part of nature.

I have never taken any courses of art education, and am for that reason, entirely self-taught. I enjoy the challenge of varying my subjects, colours and textures while retaining a style that is highly personalized and consistent as a whole. Since 2005, I have 170 photographs of paintings I have created, not counting drawings photography, or other works on paper.

My influences are primarily the physical and emotional worlds around me and within me. What I see and feel cannot help but reflect itself in my work.
