For me, art is a contemplative practice, where the communication of an idea is an act of suggestion, reduced to its simplest and barest form.
It is process oriented: time slows down and painting becomes an act of meditation.
I make paintings without a narrative. The meaning lies within the viewer’s experience, unique to each. I am more interested in the way colours and light, forms and edges, volume and materiality, can evoke emotions in a positive way: how paintings are able to touch and heal the human soul and generate positivity and balance on a deep level.
I search for a sensuality in the mediums, inviting seductive gradations and textures, adding further layers of meaning both materially and conceptually and multiple readings of time and space.
Sound adds another dimension.
The complexity of the compositions lie within the simplicity of form both visually and aurally.
The process is one of research, experimentation and ultimately of surrendering to the mysterious.
I believe that by venturing into the deeper levels of our own beings, we are able to touch the Universal; Jung’s archetypal and collective subconscious, an holonic universe. From here the viewer is invited to create his/her own dialogue with the works, in a unique way, and, I hope is also touched by the mystery from whence it was created.
