Living in a village in the south of France, in the Netherlands and then in Scotland has allowed me to meet different cultures and also to realise that observing life through a new language and with a foreigner’s eye was unlocking new potential, altering my perceptions, my behaviour, my way of communicating and thus my art.
For several years now my work has been about capturing immediate life around me, its hidden meaning and secret connections; a kind of “diary and observation” in painting in which words, text and poetry play also an important role.
