At this time my work has become equally divided between landscape and figuration. Landscape has been however the main driving force, and which started my journey. I see this as an extension of the identificative emotion which landscape initially provided.
On a psychological and less formal level landscape provided me with a transitional space as I moved from childhood into adulthood. The subjects I choose always contain some element of significance to me on a personal level.
As well, travel has provided me with inspiration and insight, based on historical and cultural exposure. The first few images were painting during a recent extended stay in France.
