''My paintings begin without any concept. When I start a new painting I don't know what colour I will use or what kind of form will be emerging. What becomes visible on the canvas comes out of pure 'not knowing', influenced by nature, my surroundings and present emotions.
My canvasses can consist of up to 150 layers of oil paint. The viewer is invited not to see the obvious but to see themselves.''
