Artist’s Statement:
“As far back as I can remember I have always had a pencil or a paintbrush in my hands.
What can I say about my style? Regarding my style of painting I have often been asked; ‘’Are you abstract or figurative?’’ My painting is actually a summary, I try to go straight to the essential when I paint. That is probably the reason that my work sometimes looks abstract, yet I don’t seek that effect, it just comes naturally. I am sure, however, that as a result of studying the history of art , I have also most likely been influenced by the great painters that I studied.”
