Artist Resume

Artist Statement
I view my art as a visual diary of my life. To paint is my way of analysing and understanding the world.

My themes are always derived from everyday experiences and impressions. In my paintings I explore topics like movement, energy, contrast and the mystery of emotions. I am interested in how they interconnect into body language as the true expression of the individual.
