“What a sheet of paper and the Universe have in common is Infinite Space. My subject is usually based on experiences or observations. Something I see, read, remember or desire to preserve. Main source material is Light, as perceived through Color, Space, Nature. Most of all the process of transition of three dimensions and depth into infinite flat space. I pursue many Themes that utilize those principles."
