 My work is about the incomprehensible.

 

What lies beyond, beneath the mind, beneath thought.

 

True innocence

 

Freedom

 

Beingness.

 

 

Incomprensible innocence was all there ever was to see .

I am interested in the deep spaces where identities dissolve , categories vanish and the rational mind is rendered inept. 

 

This is the voyage into the authentic self.

 

This is where my work begins.

(thoughts about painting)

Painting is one of the ways I experience Truth and express it.

Truth which cannot be put into words.

Truth beyond thought, reason, and this world.

                                                                                 +

 

Painting is my ceremony.

Painting is my purification.

I die and am born through painting.

I am painting even when I am not painting

The painting is always happening

 

This is the painting.

 

It is the blood of the moment

It is the bone of the moment.

 

This is the painting.

 

Painting is the crucible of this moment.

Painting gives me vision.

 

Painting is a reflection of my ongoing realization that only Love is real.
