MY APPROACH
« Colours are the deeds of light, its deeds and its sufferings. »
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is within colour a universe that possesses me, a meditative quest in which each unexpected pairing revives memory and deepens who I am. I probe it in its physical as much as its metaphysical dimensions, attentive to what it says of our unfolding humanity. The great tensions of our time run through it: the human imprint upon the living world, the fragility of the northern realm, the wandering of an age in search of meaning.
To these realities, colour responds through its very vitality, awakening awareness rather than yielding to despair. To paint the living thus becomes an act of resistance, a way of affirming what deserves to endure.
