2018-2020 I started these colour works by spontaneously drawing out horizontal and vertical lines in thin willow charcoal on bright white grounds. I could then erase and redraw the lines up or down, to the left or right, adding or subtracting until a free-flowing feeling was attained. I painted each shape in multiple layers, adjusting tone, contrast, saturation and hue using thin coats of oil colour. For me it expressed an inner vibration, as if I were an instrument playing out a natural rhythm.

My abstract paintings and drawings unfold organically through layers of marks, lines, washes, and shifting transparencies—exploring light against dark, warm against cool, rough against smooth. Building, erasing, reworking, they balance deliberate structure with intuitive flow, revealing recurring patterns born of physical gesture: diamonds, crosses, curves, figures—emerging naturally like a crystal forming from material choices. When every mark falls into place, chaos resolves into clarity, and color and form seem to evoke something beyond the physical materiality of the medium.
