About The Artist


My work arises from a continuous exercise developed between painting and drawing. An artistic practice organised without concern for exact representation and where, through my hand, balance in the image is sought between its conception and freedom of self-determination, where the pictorial image acquires its own language as a kind of free writing. My creative process is situated in the moment – in the present, in feeling – and opens itself to the imaginary plane, enabling the creation of other images which become detached from their referent. Ultimately, they may all be the same landscape; an image I paint or draw over and over again, but which is always begun with a fresh perspective. A way of seeing in which the physical and mental, the present and memory converge. On a plane where the strange and the familiar are blurred, giving rise to new landscapes.
