Paintings
In portraits I aim for a vivid presence, in nudes a sense of dynamism and animal grace, in still-life a charged but harmonious arrangement. In all my work observed reality is underpinned by abstract values.
Nude drawings
When bathing or dressing, the body unconsciously assumes a succession of beautiful shapes that suggest the urgency of sport or the eloquence of dance. Everyday routine can be transformed into something charged and memorable.
Portraits in time
Many of the faces around me seem to belong to an earlier age. To realise this impression I present my portraits of them as reproductions torn from an imaginary catalogue of the art of the period.
