Abstract
"My interest lies in the appreciation of the environment and the expression of it. Moving and playing with form and color are just a thrill that I can’t deny myself. The essence of water is also an important piece of all puzzles I paint. The point of departure is the moment I can recognize how my ideas fit into the world as we think we can see it, then a bit of a drive to sort it all out."
