Arundel Contemporary

The dynamics of change are evident in the works presented in this exhibition. My recent travels and observations, especially in Egypt and South Florida, resulted in this series of paintings, where I use different shapes and colours to those I used previously. I love to find new inspiration, wherever the
opportunity arises.

People often ask me where I get the ideas for my works. The answer is, I really don’t know. Maybe I have the ability to enter a state of mind where images and concepts appear and transform themselves. It is often difficult for me to separate imagination from reality, but without that any creativity would make no sense at all.

I won’t reject a sudden idea, even if it is markedly different from my usual style, after all, who knows where this open door may lead? Many of my best works are the direct result of mistakes, and each mistake makes a painting unique and closer to real life.
