Artist Statement:
Subjectivity is one of those
things that exists in and
defines everything that we do.
But to be conscious of it and
to use it as the focal point
of any kind of art,is always
an interesting idea. And
that’s the way my work deals
with basically. In many
different ways, Iam
pre-occupied with the unique
relationship between forms in
the painting and between the
painting as a whole, and the
spectator.
And the notion that meaning is
not inherent in the object but
the product of chance
encounters.And, although it
may seem like I am reading too
much into things, it is this
same pre-occupation
that makes, and insist on
approaching each painting
individually, with no
connection to previous works.
To me, one of the other most
striking aspects towards work,
is my attitude towards
formalism.I do not believe in
ethnic art although my
decision to paint in a
‘non-ethnic’ way,"I say it is
not at all conscious." since
ethnic art always runs the
risk of stereotyping and
over-simplifying. I believe
strongly in works that have a
certain universal appeal,
which I believe is made
possible by formalistic
approach. ...
