I paint to express my increasing and continuous observation of my surroundings. This is communicated mostly from juxtaposed angles of architectural buildings located around the cityscapes of the manmade world. My work conveys an interest in colour relationships and the exploration of paint manipulation. The properties that can evolve from investigating these ideas are portrayed on the picture plane, either through hard edged lines or from organic-like constructs.

The examination of my surroundings focuses on the inconspicuous and overlooked details. I try to bring the non-noticed details into my work and capture the information in moments of inception or subsiding. I want to capture things so subtle and evanescent, in a moment, that the memory lies forever in my work. This ideal combined with my constant exploration of colour and paint is the basis and inspiration of my work.
