Sometimes it’s instantaneous, sometimes it takes days, weeks or years. I search for colors and shapes that bring a feeling.
A lot of my work starts as a collage of cut paper pieces that I use as color studies. This started years ago when I travelled all over the world for my work as a creative director in advertising.
During all my years of travel, I started passing the time in airports and on flights by tearing bits of color pages out of magazines and gluing them into a notebook. Those were my first collages, and now, I return to them as inspiration for paintings. I love playing with the shapes and colors…having them clash and collide and finding their beautiful place.
