Primarily my art is about my spiritual journey and my Honours Thesis is dealing with the idea of the spiritual in painting. Wassily Kandinsky's book "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" sparked my interest in this topic.
I have been looking at the philosophy of the Romantics particularly literature that deals with the sublime and how this relates to notions of the spiritual.
The artist's that I take an interest in are Rick Amor, Louise Hearman, Edward Hopper, Rembrant, Caspar David Friedrich and JMW Turner. All of these artists use light as one of the main tools to create mood and atmosphere in their paintings and this is what inspires my work also.
