Artist’s Statement

My inspiration is landscape and manmade structures.
Perception is the basis of my inspiration although I want to carry it out freely. My latest paintings are inspired by Voyage Pittoresque. In the 18th century artists made journeys around Europe to seek an perfect landscape. In my paintings landscape changes from a modest pothole to a massive mountain hill.
I paint on aluminium.
