Repulsive Repetitions, Pleasure Guilt Syndrome...

In my paintings, I strive to communicate from a myth-generated part of our cultural heritage,
revealing individual and collective patterns in the human structures of sensing the essence
of being alive. My quest is to bring dreams, memories and love to life. It is then up to the voyeur
to receive a subjective impression.
I returned again and again in recent years, to the theme of transformation of life.
There is a kind of cultural deep freeze in our bodies, where society paralyses our brains, and
disconnects us from nature, sealing the life of feelings and making the idea of radical change
almost unthinkable.
If the artist's function is to hold up a mirror to society, we may have to accept the fact
that in our time, the mirrors are hazy. The wearing of a mirror, reflecting every experience back
into our own consciousness is a progression from illusion to clarity.

The problem is that we are blinded by our own projections, stopping us from staying true to love
and unity. So don't expect perfection.

Several of these latest paintings, particularly in Repulsive repetitions, explores thematically classical
elements. Such as the Assyrians and the woman and ..satan,.. and ..satan.. and the woman, or.. carnal
desires and the woman, ...are often implanted in abstractions about nature and the body feminine.
Through repetition of mythological symbols and figures, on love and passion, from earliest historical
times, the paintings demand some attention. One might not be seduced at first, but then slowly, as
one enters the images, a kind of pattern emerges where recognition might possibly dawn..!
