Hydrangea

I create art because I can’t help expressing myself visually: Shapes, forms and color move me deeply, and expressing it in paint or pencil is the most enjoyable, uplifting occupation I know. I have to show what it is that I fell in love with, so that the observer will see it right away.

My aim is to capture the nuance without losing the freshness, the strength of that quick first glance, and thus convey the very essence of the painted subject, and the passion I feel toward it.

My work includes a more precise, controlled style and a looser style with a freer brush stroke. I imagine traveling over my subject with my brush and strive to create an intimate contact with that cheek, this bottle or a reflection on the water, bringing them alive.
