Artist statement
The objective of my art is, through combining the opportunities of digital technology with traditional painting and the art of poetry, to evoke emotions, to stimulate reflection and daydreams. I prefer painting flowers, following a quote of Buddha: “If you could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change”.
My art is in general simple, plain and focused on the essentials, often with Japanese or Asian touch. Each painting gets a small poem as title, which is built similarly to a Japanese haiku, intended to stimulate thinking and reflection.
