Post-Romantic Landscapes
To paint is to believe in unseen and unknown forms that reveal themselves in the very process of painting. For me, the practice of painting always carries a type of romantic sentiment in which the desire to make visible the invisible is always present. Painting is where the depths of the subconscious come into light and are exposed. I believe painting can be an ambient art in this way. This means the invisible realities of painting have a special ability to expose the invisible effects of ecological imbalance.
