"In my current series I focus on theatrical, visual compositions that can be found in nature. I like to describe my style as being enthusiastic, positive and lively. My subjects tend to be fragile and defenceless in reality but look powerful on canvas. This contradiction has always been a great source of inspiration to me.
The blow-ups and exaggerations provide my paintings with intimacy, sometimes even sensuality. The viewer is invited to take part in “the artist’s adventure of Observing”. In doing so, I pay a tribute to the beautiful theatrical performances that nature has to offer, for free. In our modern society we tend to zap our way through life and overlook these presents. My paintings express my personal gratitude for the stunning compositions designed by mother nature."
