“To me, art is very personal. It invites people-to-people contact. I portray human contact figuratively in striking colours. I blend figures and environment into a visionary whole, an invitation to feel part of the portrayal. I mix my oils directly on the canvas, which creates numerous transitions and nuances. The portrayal speaks for itself, supported by the title and the viewer designs his or her own story.”
