ARTIST STATEMENT
In my artwork, I often paint certain objects or landscapes that I have a strong feeling towards at that moment. I choose specific moments that are or were important and memorable in my life experience. I manipulate the colour palette, brush marks and techniques in oil painting in order to capture the atmosphere and to express my mood.
