A
statement by the artist:
"Painting
is for me a deeply personal experience. In my portraits of men and
women, I want to express their feelings and life experience. With
the use of lines, color and painting tools, I create a tremendous
emotional interplay between the subject and myself. Such handling
or technique becomes a dance involving my whole being, translating
the emotions of the subject and merging them with my own.
Quite
often, anemones, 'wind flowers' are introduced as a symbol of beauty,
strength and vulnerability combined, so as to emphasize those same
qualities in us.
I turn
to landscapes, as I am forever in awe at the overwhelming beauty
and power of Nature. Its healing quality calms, its wisdom soothes.
For me, Nature oozes a philosophical and metaphysical knowledge,
renewing my faith in gloryfying powers of which I have no knowledge,
and which, therefore, I can accept.
Being
human and created by Nature, painting both, is as necessary for
me as breathing."
