PROCESS

“My work is about capturing reality with all the dynamic properties of oil paint to communicate my source of inspiration and create a portal into it.

I work at various scales and distances, but always strive to capture the raw essence of a scene - be it a distant view, a cluttered interior or the incredible complexity of nature. I aim to provide a window that immediately transports you. I want you feel like you can touch the leaves, smell the air and step through the painting, into my world.

The foundation of my work has always been painting on location (en plein air). I have spent thousands of hours painting from life, honing my skills and learning how to see, It’s an essential part of my practice and provides me with a deep sense of connection to the world. I also gather visual information in the field with photography which I use back in the studio in combination with oil sketches to work up ideas on a larger scale.”
