painting
The painting rises from the brushstrokes as a poem rises from the words. The meaning comes later.
world titles alive
I start from something considered dead and arrive at a world. And when I put a title on it, it becomes even more alive.
moon sky space
The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. Im overwhelmed when I see, in an immense sky, the crescent of the moon, or the sun. There, in my pictures, tiny forms in huge empty spaces. Empty spaces, empty horizons, empty plains - everything which is bare has always greatly impressed me.
