PORTFOLIO

Colour meets Texture (2002 - 2005)
The fascination with textures leads to experimenting with different materials and the result is a series of abstract paintings created with my hands rather than painted with a brush.

Inspired by travelling to Europe and China, a series of Mixed Media paintings reflects the beauty of amazing places, foreign cultures, mysterious situations, and respect for Harmony and Passion.

Individual Abstracts (2002 - 2013)
Individual large paintings inspired by questions about life, relationships, dreams, purpose and feelings. Aim was to create a sanctuary for the soul, full of empathy and sensitivity. Based on spontaneity, emotions and feeling for colour these large individual abstract paintings are part of an on-going artistic journey and they were created to simply touch the viewer's soul.

Energy (2007 - 2010)
