Gallery - Structure
My earliest works were born of an urge to
paint and were a release of creative energy that took shape on the canvas
instinctively. At first they sought only
to be beautiful but developed into considering how beauty and in particular, balance,
can lift the soul of a viewer.
They evolved into passionate responses to
the difficulties of considering mass.
From a scientific or spiritual viewpoint, nothing can ever be said to be
solid, there are simply differing degrees of density. Mountain ranges or cityscapes become a series
of bold strokes in strong colours, evoking strength and permanence but at the
same time transparent and melting away.
The contradiction between solidity and fluidity within one mass lies at
the heart of all existence
