painting
Keep painting - day in - day out. Be absorbed by it.
independent unique color
I try to construct a picture in which shapes, spaces, colors, form a set of unique relationships, independent of any subject matter. At the same time I try to capture and translate the excitement and emotion aroused in me by the impact with the original idea.
ideas
The idea is in my head to put it down is nothing.
nature drama wind-blowing
Nature is my springboard. From her I get my initial impetus. I have tried to relate the visible drama of mountains, trees, and bleached fields with the fantasy of wind blowing and changing colors and forms.
art made turns
Art is like turning corners, one never knows what is around the corner until one has made the turn.
art paint
Why talk when you can paint?
