Artist Statement
Direct flow from intuition. Random and honest play with colours and textures. I let my intuition be my guide, my brain tells me what to do next. I don't plan what creature to paint, I don't have it in my imagination. I play and play until I can see it. I discover the cerature and work with it. When the work is finished I observe and try to understand what it means. Meaning is the most important part. Intuition opens a creative channel that brings universal meaning, about life. It is a surprise to me as it is to the viewer. Understand the depth, the symbols. What does that creature mean? What words come up? What does that mean in my life? What universal questions does it answer?
