ART WITH A STORY
I love working with mixed media materials such as acrylic paint, oil pastel, paper, textiles just to name a few. Both my 'figurative' and 'abstract' work is created with intuitiveness and gusto and derives from "the belly button", the gut. Even though my brushstrokes are bold and spontaneous, I do like to pay attention to details in my work. My art is influenced by current events, personal experiences, travel and people I meet; people from various walks of life, backgrounds and personalities. I spontaneously take photographs of subjects that move and impress me. But I never use them as a reference for my paintings. Those snapshots are like the fuel that drives me to be creative. It's more like "the painting decides the journey of my brush". One brushstroke leads to another until I have reached the destination.
