In a world preoccupied with technology, painting connects us with our basic self expression. I am not interested in painting something that already exists. I try not to recreate an image. Instead, I may use it as a reference point from which to move on.
I am influenced by the Abstract Expressionists – for their dynamic brushwork and emotional rawness. By the Renaissance – for composition, light and movement. And by Japanese colour theory.
Some paintings can take months to finish whereas sometimes I’ve created a painting within a couple of hours. Something that really excites me is when you can sense the energy in how the materials have been applied to a painting.
