"My work started as a body of figurative images involved in a narrative setting. My goal was to invoke the story-telling aspect in a manner that allows the audience to add their own interpretation to the situation suggested in the paintings. This ephemeral or transient idea lead to a more abstract point of view that was based on realism.
My present work is mostly de-peopled. The interest for me now is the idea of a personal pilgrimage into the past, exploring it as a bystander but retaining the core of the narrative or story-telling aspect of my past work."
