" I am less concerned in rendering surface details of the landscape but more in exploring effects of colour, light and structure: the dynamic of the junction point between the physical tactile quality of the abstract painted surface, and an impression of space and atmosphere. My paintings often need to be seen from a distance to appreciate how the brushstrokes combine to form a perception of the landscape."
