The world has more than enough barbarism, chaos and crudity. I don’t wish to add to it in my art.

Representing the human form is for me the best way to express my feelings about the human condition.

Mystery and ambiguity serve to trigger memory and imagination. Art lacking these elements may be technically proficient but not necessarily interesting. The careful depiction of recognizable subject matter can be a tool, a visual "hook"  to capture and hold the viewer’s interest and form a gateway into the realms of thought, emotions and the subconscious.
