Painting allows me to think. To paint is to get to grips with reality. I like the words of Francis Bacon who said that painting is not about the illustration of reality but about depicting a condensed form of reality. In my opinion the true significance of a painting does not lie outside the human universe but exists somewhere in the domain of shared human experience. The idea that there are painted spaces…sometimes randomly found, but the very fact that these spaces have common ground between individuals is very appealing to me.
