I like drawing and I like painting…

I like the feeling, when I make a line, add some colour, change a colour, or when I make a brushstroke and something appears: the contour of a head, a line on a face, a horse’s back, a human body, or just a shape starting to say something, starting to find expression…

I like the structure of a canvas, the grain of paper, the smell of turpentine and linseed oil…

I like it when something emerges on a piece of paper or a canvas, when a meaning forms, when a story starts to develop, that I can intervene in and help improve. That starts a dialogue with me. I like talking with pictures; I try to hear what they want to say, and to articulate their speech…

I like to use different techniques – acrylics, watercolour, but most often oil paints, in combination with other materials such as charcoal or pastel. This enables me to erase the border between drawing and painting and so, in a way, capture the process of birth and development of the picture itself in the final result…

Perhaps my pictures will tell, or show, something to you too…
