About the Artist

Artists are expected to ‘state’ something about their oeuvres. Well, I do not belong to that category of contemporary artist who is intent on subjecting the observer to a rude shock – simply for the sake of being “different” at all costs.

Once an idea is born, there is a certain pleasure in the obedience of the hands to the eye as they translate the concept into reality. That is why I do it. Nature always has been my greatest source of inspiration. Tropical fish in an aquarium, the wings of an Amazonian butterfly: here man has to accede that his imagination falls short of nature’s ingenuity. This is particularly true when one takes a close-up view of nature’s organic creations. Magnification permits the artist to communicate delicate design qualities which escape the viewer’s attention in the object’s real size.

Aquarium-C

2007
Ink on paper
23 x 30 cm

This series I call "capillary", because here I exploited the remarkable phenomenon of capillary attraction. This demonstrates the effects of using a soft brush and pressure to encourage Indian ink to disperse in sandwich with diverse kinds of Japanese papers, tissue or transparent foil. These works will remain absolutely unique, since there is an exciting element of hazard. Not large in size (between 18 x 24 and 33 x 41 cm.) the intricately fine detail is best appreciated at a close distance.

Banana-boat

2007
Ink on coated Canson paper
