Process

I paint intuitively from an inner pull that gives me a love for creating. Sometimes my paintings start from an idea or a preconceived image, but usually the idea develops as I am working. The painting is informing me as to what it is about, not the other way around. I start from a thin base layer and then build up the image with multiple subsequent layers. The image may transform altogether several times. Paintings can take anything from days to months to years, as I will leave them for a time to be revisited later, or sometimes they will come through in one solid consecutive flow of creative drive. The painting is done when it feels harmonious, and there the message can be derived more explicitly.
