I work predominantly with acrylics on canvas, jute, card and paper. Occasionally I will also use chalks, paper, watercolours etc. Practically all my pictures are characterised by stark contrasts. Sometimes my work is quite spontaneous, and I don’t start out with any definite aim in mind; at other times, I have a very precise idea of what I want to paint. My pictures can be placed somewhere between the abstract and the figurative/informal. The subject-matter is often spaces or the people who are part of the spaces. Although many people want to know a picture’s title and some can only find their way into a picture via the written word, I prefer not to give my pictures titles in order not to limit people’s way of looking at them. These kinds of pictures then become – for those who can see their way into them – their “own pictures”. |
