I am interested in the big questions of life the meaning of life, the search for truth. As such, I like to use these topics in my paintings.
Artists often want to provoke their audience with new questions or new ideas. I like to challenge my audience with old questions, the most timeless questions: Why are we here? Where are our lives going? I want my audience to rethink their lives in the light of my art and its message.
My artwork is influenced by poets, musicians and others whose lives have changed the way people think. My work is also influenced by the words of other people, it is always something I have found to be true in my own life.
Most of my paintings are oil paintings, though some are acrylic. I have an expressionistic style which is simple, colorful and objective. The simplicity of my paintings underlines their expressiveness.
