His Pool-side series is a celebration of life. The pool is at first glance hidden from the viewer and one is confronted with abstract shapes and lines almost painful to the eye. Yet, one is drawn back to the canvas discovering the magic pool. From this plants and animals begin to climb and spread more and more...

His Desert Genre series draws on his experience of living in Australia and captured the vastness of the land meeting the horizon, the color of the soil and infinite light.

His Wilderness series in earthy browns, orange and yellows whilst abstract puts the viewer inside a vast barren landscape of valleys and empty planes. Yet is does not feel desolate or hopeless.


Lost Wilderness:

Symbols, colours, shapes: my subconscious mind starts spilling them out. They repeat and repeat but nothing is ever the same. Instead I focus on one scenic point and as Kandinsky witnessed, when you constantly enlarge one point, the status infinitely changes.

The colours fuel my inspiration and they start to mix creating a limitless, timeless concept that, when viewed in even the dimmest of light becomes a complete picture.

Here I am happy with the colour, the oil, the point, the light; the combinations please me; everything is one and one is everything.
