Like
many artists focused on visual expression, I have, over the years,
found myself drawn to images created by intuition, to dreams and memories --
those recurring themes and archetypes characterized by C. G. Jung as the
collective unconscious.
Explaining the world through metaphors and pictures -- images of light, space,
and movement-- is fundamental to our modes of cognition. Consciously ordering
our daily chaos by processing images, we filter them through to our unconscious,
and transform them into a code to be filed away. This then becomes an inner
language, a resource for expression, making it possible for us to preserve our
connectedness to nature and to engage in social interaction.
Deciphering the universal code of this inner language and translating its
vocabulary into images has become the very foundation of my artwork. The
process is intuitive, enabling me to capture the moment, infusing the
emotion and the thought with meaning.
Executed on canvas or paper, each painting or artwork thus becomes an
intimate conversation in brushstrokes and vibrant colors that resonates
beyond words.
