Statement

I believe beauty is harmony. When we surround ourselves with beautiful objects like paintings, furniture, accessories, lighting, gardens, etc. we make a symbolic statement about our own beauty. These things
harmonize our thoughts & lives and soon our mind starts to clear and brighten.


My work describes certain states of dynamic living such as in dance, vibrant physical movement - even pregnancy. It is characterised by a great amount of sensitivity, upliftment, musical rythm and visual exhuberance. Much of it refers to being ‘light & fluid’ and assumes no boundaries, or limitations of our body, mind and spirit. In other words one is not confined to ones physical form alone, instead is connected to all that is. In a sense my inspiration comes from the concept of silent meditation where one is in a state of heightened awareness and conscious presence, yet simultaneously feels a deep stillness, peace and joy - as well as experiences sensations of intense aliveness, power and radiance. The predominant presence of the female form in my work comes from balancing fearlessness, strenght and autonomity with beauty, allure and love, aiming to highlight the feminine principle within humanity. Essentially, most of my paintings can be interpreted in such a way, i.e as a celebration of our true, joyful existence that is the underlying basis of everything in nature.

Furthermore, my artistic language is marked by many 20th century influences, such as Abstract and German Expressionism,
Post Impressionism, Fauvism and Action Painting. l combined components of distinct modern art styles with contemporary
visionary art and arrived at a fresh, experimental approach, which in turn has become quite unique, vibrant and free-flowing.
Some of the qualities I have merged in developing my style are for example the colour application of Henri Mattise, the action
painting characteristics of Jackson Pollock, the sensuality of Egon Schiele, the poetry of Bill Viola and the beautiful intricacy
of Alex Grey. Conclusively my work portraits a certain peaceful condition, suggesting a return to balance and stability
within our experience.
