Artist’s Statement
My art is about life, form and colour subjectively and objectively.
I have been interested in art most of my life from painting stones, representing what I see and imagine to expressing what I feel about what I think.
I have been interested in depicting people then chose more abstract shapes.
What I enjoy about art and design is a sense of play and digesting difficult thoughts and emotions to resolve a problem.
My favourite artists include French cave painters and Post Impressionists, Abstract Expressionists and Italian Rennaissance artists.
A Scottish painter Andrew Walker inspired me to use brighter colours when he said he wants people to go away from his pictures feeling happy.
Materials I like are charcoal, oils, clay and stone.
In my future I want to paint more the world I experience and develop stone carving as I have been working as a stonemason for the past 18 years.
Currently I have been working on small abstract paintings and seek challenging stone related or visual art projects.
