Artist's Statement:

The mind is a subtle, multi-dimensional environment of images, symbols, words, feelings and emotions. It is a complex self-organizing and patterning system. An active mechanism that morphs and manifests in limitless forms, fusing, synthesizing and juxtaposing images, words emotions, etcetera in seemingly random and senseless ways, wherein everything is inter-related and interconnected, stringed with a thread visible only to wide and open minds.

My paintings are frozen fractions of the mind's activity - recreated intuitively on flat canvasses of acrylics. Surreal pictures where reality and fantasy waltz in the depths of dreams, daydreams and the subconscious. Each painting is open-ended. There is no fixed interpretation or definite meaning. All the elements can be taken literally or symbolically acoording to the whims and personal experiences of the viewer.
