'The
work explores imaginary synthetic environments which draws its inspiration
from the machine, landscape, celestial skies and the microscopic
world. This comibination fuses to create a new spiritual mix reflecting
our time.
There is no running away from history; the ghosts of modernism
are present within the evolution of abstraction. We take fragments
from the past and build new horizons for tomorrow. The layers of
paint are equal to the layers of time, , which has travelled before
us.
More than ever painting is relevant today within our high speed
society, we crave a need for stillness, to wonder, to dream and
drift in our universe of imagination'.
