Artist statement
I have been gifted with a passion for painting and an astute power of observation. On my
impressionist canvases I strive to portray a moment's beauty or meticulously depict the
reflections of flickering light. I am inspired by the surrounding world, and the process of
painting is a happy journey in quest for unity and harmony. My aspiration is that my art will
stimulate positive feelings. I have chosen a palette knife as it's a perfect tool for creating
oil canvases. This technique makes my painting emanate pureness of colours and true joy of
life. For me a painting is a palette of colours, on which I can freely mix them, albeit
without neglecting the drawing. Each element of a composition is given appropriate attention.
In the "Treatise on Painting" by Leonardo da Vinci I've found a number of helpful
hints on this. Painting is for me very much like music: it has its tones, hues, accents and a
mood.
