I am (primarily) an abstract painter. I try to leverage the newest materials and technologies to create art that would not have been possible to make before the present day, and that is therefore an art uniquely of our age. At the same time, I believe that we react most strongly to an art of organic and archetypal forms. It follows that I am attempting to create an artistic idiom that harks back to the most ancient forms but is also unmistakably contemporary.  My latest work takes this synergy to a new level: My goal is to create art that looks self-generated, but that is very complex and could only have been created with the help of the latest digital technology, even though the final result is made completely by hand.

 

My ideal painting is a work that does not directly reference nature, nor is completely self-referential, but that evokes something beyond itself that is mysterious, beautiful and ineffable.
