"To me, being a painter of the landscape is about creating original impressions of the rapturous light forms that appear, especially during early morning or evening. A spirited involvement in colour and movement invokes a certain romanticism - the painting must have energy and feeling. I like to think that paintings are a passionate expression of being in touch with the fascination of the subject. The artist is the hand that plays the strings, touching this one and that one, to stimulate the soul and to appreciate the vibrations of beauty and colour around us."
