I love to work with colors and have chosen painting as a medium for expressing them. I like to work on a large scale. By such means I can paint a large field of color.
Music is a great source of inspiration for me. When I hear the rhythm I translate it into my work. For me, Jazz is especially exciting music to paint by. It is the combination of listening to music and my choosing of various colors that sets the tenor in each painting.
I create “push” and “pull” energies; positive and negative forces, which turn into kinds of landscapes. I paint spontaneously and intuitively. Although the paintings are composed in pieces, they comprise a fluid unified whole. They also shelter hidden forms, and if one changes focus, they may spring to life. I suspect that they are the result of perceptions of my experiences, which I can neither fully verbalize, nor explain.
I hope the viewer will slip into their own transfiguration process and be stimulated by their own projections on these paintings.
