A work of art should be a revelation that explores the territory between what we know and are yet to discover. I draw upon all I have experienced and have learned, set that as free as I can and trust my senses. Combining the alchemy of oil paint and personally invented techniques, I make paintings that explore the unknown. I make what I want to see. Inspiration is all around me. The highest achievements of my fellow humans, now and in the past, and the mystery of nature provide a vast source of inspiration, but I am most inspired by that last painting I made.
