I paint to exalt the experience of a creative force within us and enfolding us, which forms the images of intelligible meanings leading to knowledge.
Paul Klee wrote, “art does not render the visible, art renders visible.” (Creative Credo, 1920)
In light of the meaning Klee expressed so well, my paintings can be seen as images of self-discovery reflecting archetypal themes such as duality, isolation and metamorphosis.
The deepest content remains, it is the form that evolves and only with intuition of the connection between the two can a painter create forms of maximum significance.
Most of the watercolors demonstrate a manner of painting that developed during experiments with color washes on thin handmade paper when the interaction of layered pigment suggested the image of a bird. Instead of representing nature or a preconceived mental image, an image emerging through ethereal color washes was spontaneously realized.
