Artists Statement
I work mostly in the medium of painting and drawing.
My work deals with beauty, the outer an inner beauty
of a subject or a place and the beauty of the image itself.
I am as attracted to a subject as to the process itself.
In recent years my work has become representational.
In order to do the subject justice I strive for a certain
degree of technical accuracy while the medium itself
should have an equal presence.A drawing should look like
a drawing, a painting like a painting.
I work from life as well as from my own photographs and
often use digital editing to play around with the image.
But ultimately I follow the painting’s internal logic and the
outcome can often come as a surprise.
Close observation leads to deep involvement. The more I
look the more I see and the more I feel. The work is an
expression of this intense involvement.
