I am interested in human relationships. In painting, I search for their visual equivalent. I believe that what escapes verbal description can, to some extent, be captured through images. I see painting as a medium capable of generating a kind of silence that encourages states of self-reflection — one of the most important reasons why I paint.

Ideas for paintings often emerge from everyday observations. Sometimes it is a small, seemingly insignificant detail that stays with me. I begin with a quick black-and-white sketch so the idea is not lost. I then work on the composition and the relationships between the elements of the image. Before a larger canvas painting is created, I usually develop the idea through watercolours.

Through my work I try to heighten sensitivity to the relationships between people and encourage careful attention to the relations we ourselves create — even when this requires remaining within a state of dissonance.
