Artist statement:

Looking at good art makes us forget about everything around us, even if it's just for a few moments. It's a wonderful experience in a world that constantly tries to capture our attention.

I usually start a painting with no preconceived idea in mind. It is this uncertainty that interests me. Letting me be guided by my intuition and emotions is the best way I found to bring a painting alive and to evoke emotion in the viewer's mind. Abstract art is all about emotion. Instead of asking the question ‘what does it mean?’, I invite the observer to ask himself ‘how does it make you feel?’. The beauty of abstract art lies in the fact that everybody will feel something else due to the subjectivity of emotion.

Although I always try to create something unique, I am certainly influenced by other artists' work. I admire the American postwar expressionist movement for its pure expression of emotion, the Renaissance paintings for mastering composition and light.
