A selection of current work
I find the essence of beauty not in perfection, but rather in the subtle traces left by time: the scars and irregularities that lend a work its authenticity. Through the dynamic interplay of building up and breaking down with colour and texture, the history of the work – the underpainting – remains deliberately visible.

‘Botanical revolution’ explores how memories resurface unexpectedly. Not as an exact reconstruction of the past, but as fragments evoked by a present-day observation and given new meaning in a different context. What once seemed forgotten returns in a different form. What we think we see is not necessarily what is actually there, but what our memory adds to the image.

A moment often lasts but a fraction of a second. Yet it is precisely such a fleeting experience that can unexpectedly evoke a memory. A particular colour, a shape, a rhythm, or a combination of these that is almost impossible to put into words can touch something stored deep within the memory.In an abstract painting, that recognition is never unambiguous. What one person sees, another does not. Everyone brings their own experiences, memories and associations to the work. As a result, the image does not acquire a single fixed meaning, but is created anew each time in the encounter between the work and the viewer.*The Past of a Temporal Moment* explores this remarkable phenomenon: how a fleeting visual moment can become connected to something from the past. Not because the painting depicts something concrete, but because it leaves room for personal memories and associations.

Some images last but a moment. An unexpected convergence of shapes, colours or objects, glimpsed by chance through a train window or whilst out for a walk. Even before we have fully taken them in, they have already vanished. Yet it is precisely those fleeting moments that often linger in our memory.With *A Temporary View*, I explore this transience of the act of looking. Not everything can be captured, and not everything needs to be understood immediately. The painting therefore demands time. Time to look again, at a different time of day, in changing light. A work of art has no fixed form; the light constantly reveals a different painting. Light is not what illuminates the work, but what brings it to life time and again.In *The Ponds*, Mary Oliver writes: “the light is everything.” That thought resonates in this work. Perhaps the meaning lies not in a perfect representation, but in the willingness to be moved by something that reveals itself only for a fleeting moment. Sometimes a fleeting glance is enough to leave something lasting behind.
