Artist's Note
"My themes are predominately about inner processes in the human psyche, especially how we react to changes in life. As Communication is very important, the motives behind response and non-response and their effects on human interaction is another intriguing and demanding subject for me, because it creates 'wars and peace'. I love the spontaneous creative process for painting as well as I sometimes start with a completed composition after I have focused on transforming complex ideas into simple forms of expressions."
