ARTIST STATEMENT
My paintings are “Playgrounds – Landscapes,"
an inner experience of freedom and passion not restricted by
conventions or boundaries.
In my journey as an artist I am inspired to create from the
inside out to express my fascination and passion in combining
my inner world with reality.
“Playgrounds in time and space” are my re-occurring themes.
Divided and separated by space, lines, images, symbols, forms
and shapes – composed like a sheet of music in the harmony
of a visual symphony – to reveal my inner world.
My canvases are often heavily textured, deeply scarred and
evoke the feeling of being sculptured.
Often I use found objects, architectural symbols,
silkscreen images or find it necessary to include written
statements or pieces of poetry to underline or human presence.
