Personal Statement

I have always striven to build an artistic bridge between the art of the past and the developments of the contemporary art.  The use of colour in three-dimensional structures has encouraged me to experiment with ever wider forms of expression and spatial interaction. The interplay of colour and form has a dominant role in my work whilst the content is considered to be more peripheral. Whether working in a two or a three dimensional format, I am always exploring different ways of unifying painting and sculpture. My interests are firmly anchored in contemporary trends and in the pursuit of innovative means. I am searching for a dialogue between culture - in the widest sense of the word - and my personal reflection on the times we live in. In this endeavour, I feel I am in a never-ending confrontation with my very own "self"
