‘Concerning the painting Mortal, I employed mixed media: charcoal, pencil, pastel crayon, coloured pencil, pen, Indian ink, acrylic ink, acrylic paint, transparent gesso, brushwork and the ink-wash technique.
I pooled everything together in this work that was sprouting, growing and blooming and everything that was creeping, flying and walking in order to lend expression to thoughts and feelings that were preoccupying me greatly at the time, including the perception of the transience and simultaneously universal everlasting nature of life.
Being connected to the earth, the sun, the moon, the rain, the clouds, the animals, the plants, the water… Good and evil forces, good and evil spirits. That’s what my work is about.’
