Artist’s Statement

Sometimes the story of the painting is told in the darkness of the color or the shapes of the marks left by the brush, in the thickness or transparency of oil paints.
Part of the story is always the basis and foundation on which the painting is born.

My paintings are at the same time experiences from the past and thoughts about the future.
They are equally false and true.
Reality and dreams.
People are characters, some clear and some just thoughts.
Nature, man and landscape

However, the most important thing is the journey of the painting and the telling of the story.
How the painting finds its shape during the painting process.
You can't get there, you always have to start painting again.
The journey is magical and full of surprises.
The story of the painting continues!
