In this less than perfect world, my paintings are meant to be doorways to a better place. I feel that my duty as an artist is to offer the public an oasis where anything can happen but choose to lean on the wonderfull aspects of imagination so creatures like fairies and elves often appear in my painted universe. I use acrylic and oils on canvas in a pretty traditional manner but I very seldom start with a sketch, preferring to improvise as the paintings develops. Some of my work takes years to finish while some are done in a few days, it's always a matter of inspiration and mood for me. I am a figurative artist but I refuse to be labelled a realist, I start from reality and always end up far from it. Music his my main inspiration, images just seem to appear out of nowhere when I listen to music just as I always hear music coming out of a painting I like.
