"I believe a painting should make an impact on the viewer's brain, stimulating chemical reactions: positive, negative or both"

Welcome to my website

It’s a real pleasure for me to go into my studio and stare at a white canvas. Normally I have no idea about the subject of my painting, I start by choosing colours and applying them onto the canvas. Gradually a concept starts to appear and the painting takes shape.

I love it when people see my work and give me feedback about what they feel and understand from the images, textures and colours.  Often, that feedback helps inspire my next project.

Please enjoy browsing through the website and I welcome your comments.
