Artist statement

an urge. an action. why? to open up. to exist beyond the instant hit, to be free, to leave causalities behind. to find new pathways for art, for painting. intensity and truthfulness. this means giving oneself over to colour or form, fully. the colours expand, the brushstroke drifts across the page. red flows over the paper, forms puddles, a map of emotion, i need only be able to see it. the brushstroke gives shape to something recognisable, allows the colour its space and plays out its own story and elation. yet it also reacts to the colour, and the colour to it. it is about molding one’s own life in beauty and harmony, like the portrait that appears on the page. and yes, also the irregularities, the fears and doubts, the inadequacies, weak spots, all that makes an image so “human.”, too. censorship happens in the mind, but the eye and curiosity are free.
