Every painting begins long before the first brushstroke.

During the creative process, thoughts, questions and reflections often emerge. Sometimes they relate to a personal experience. Sometimes they arise from observing the world around us. And sometimes they are simply questions without answers.

The texts in this publication are not explanations of the paintings. They are fragments of the thoughts and reflections that accompanied their creation.

Each work remains open to interpretation. What you see in a painting may be entirely different from what inspired it, and that is exactly what makes art so personal.

I invite you to explore these works, the reflections behind them, and perhaps recognize something of yourself along the way.
