Artist Statement
My aim is to create artworks that make the viewer think. My lyrical abstract paintings lead them into visual worlds where there is something to explore, something to resonate with. The multiple possibilities of interpreting visual reality give the viewer a sense of freedom and invite them to engage in a kind of intellectual play or experience.
