Artist’s Statement
The contradictions and polarities I experience in the day-to-day help in generating ideas. I play with the line dividing abstraction and reality. As an abstract painter I try to maintain a dialogue with the surface. My work is related to landscape over time. Information is located and layered, hinting at a three-dimensional reference. My work is about the organic, the geologic, the construction of history.
