"Landscapes and animals are not landscapes and animals, but are dots of paint and people. The focus is at the small things, which you almost pass without seeing, to see them again. Attention for color, shape and coincidence will seduce you to take a new look at the everyday new ordinary things.
The paintings are about human nature: surprise, being together, just-not-making-it, loneliness, beauty, innocence, alertness and contentment.
Oil on canvas, untidy as a virtue, impulsivity combined with caring craftsmanship.
Merleau-Ponty (1962) describes that understanding and experiencing is led by what the senses show you. Meaning is created in the moment, where painting and viewer meet. That which occurs, is not entirely to grasp in language. My paintings like to offer that openness: you see your own story when viewing the work. That what I show you from my world, does not need to be the same as what you see."
