Statement
From a very young age I always enjoyed drawing and painting, there was a genuine desire to recordthe world, everything felt absolutely magical and meaningful. Despite the frustrations anddisappointments that life tends to bring as an adult, this desire and wonder has never been lost, ithas become a search for the hidden meaning behind all those things that seem to sparkle in the eyeswhen we stop to look closely. Art, paintings, are a way of unveiling the beauty that is hidden behindthings. For the simplest places, moments, are full of meaning and the world, the modern rhythm,loses them, lets them escape. Art is for me a way to capture this real hidden meaning, for a momentsomething that is infinite fits inside something finite and that’s how a painting ‘shines’ like aprecious stone that captures the beauty of daylight.
