I paint because I have no other choice if I want my life to have purpose. This is a recent discovery for me, a very happy one.

As a painter I like to create paintings with a soul, so connections between a painting and the observer can be made, and emotions can be conveyed. I enjoy the goodness in the world and I don’t enjoy the pain in it bit I know that beauty can be found even amoungst ugly and painful things, it’s about perspective, and that’s why I chose stray dogs as my subject for this exhibition, to me the convey some of their pain that make us sensible towards them, and also their infinite beauty.
