Oil paint is a material that can be reworked many times. It is this quality that I try to exploit to the full, layering the paint in many translucent washes.

It is a time consuming process but brings a quality to the paint that can not be achieved another way, a sort of pearl like glow. The scenes in my work take place in the twilight of morning or in the last rays of evening, the border between day and night, sleep and waking, blurring the distinction between the reality and the phantoms of the imagination.

I want to invite the viewer into a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar, the world of the unconscious and the landscape of the dream, where there is a happy disregard for the laws of everyday reality and where images can become loaded with a subjective meaning that remains enigmatic and only half understood.

I draw my inspiration from many sources; the Dutch Masters, the Ancient Greeks, Iconography, mythology and philosophy, but most of all I rely on my own unconscious and intuition, which has proven many times to have a logic and a curious independence all of it's own.
