"An arrangement of components dedicated to Mystery. The form transfers into the content. If it seems attractive enough, it can even appeal to those who have not been initiated. I paint deeply rooted in tradition. My paintings are built of layers. Nevertheless they differ from the 17th century Flemish scumbling. Plans permeate, equalled yet subordinate to the way they guide the viewer. I build the world I have seen anew. Two dimensions of a plane, a canvas, paints, the intellect and the sympathetic viewer open to my gestures regarded as ´savage´ at the time of the digital record are enough to start the journey. I build the whole from fragments which I put into order. That is my answer to the experience of simultaneity of events. The reaction to hum and excess."
