Artist Statement:
Lost Lands, a series of
landscapes, 2003/4
This is a series of landscapes
with lost land as the subject.
These works refer to primal
land, the bygone earth, the
early world which has, in
reality, nearly disappeared.

world that remains deep in our
collective, primal
subconscious. We seem to
recognize and grasp this
knowledge of our connection
with our origins
instinctively, although they
remain faded and almost
forgotten memories.
I want, with this series, to
recall those subconscious
memories, to bring this lost
land back, reconstruct it.
The sunset in a burning sky in
each of these works asserts
the awareness of and
dramatizes the passage of
time.

images with which they are
'filled'. These images come
from the figure's
surroundings, images such ...
