About Me
As a child,
drawing and colouring with crayons were my most beloved activities. I then graduated to oil painting; I was
learning to see my surroundings and it was only natural that I wish to paint
landscapes that inspired me. But there was a frustrating element in the whole
process: I was not content with the process or the final outcome because my
idea of art at that time was to reproduce landscapes rather than to express the
emotions that they evoked.
At this point in
time, I am approaching the artistic
process in a different way. I am now discovering a more playful, intuitive way of painting. Mixed-media
has been a real discovery, leaving space for exploration and experimentation:
when I paint, I feel like a tourist in a newly discovered space: I wander, I
stop, I welcome new sensations, I intuitively move around, loving the process.
As John Updike
put it, “What art offers is space, a
certain breathing room for the spirit.
