Artist’s Statement

"The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we are truly alive. So I paint the joy of living, which at the same time brings happiness, peace and delight to those who view my work."

"From the countries that I have travelled, I draw inspiration and subject matter from objective facts and real scenery, forming an artistic response to this outside stimulation to create images, which are both lyrical and contextual."
