I am fascinated by the correlation that exists between on the one hand the new findings in quantumphysics at a micro level and astronomy at a macro level, and on the other hand my personal spiritual experience through meditation and esoteric reading.
My interest in the complexity of our mental processes and their interaction with 'reality', is residual of my academic education. My artistic work is nevertheless characterised by simplicity. I call it 'Spiritual Minimalism'.

Movement, the expression of energy, colour and light are the main dynamic elements.
The abstract image makes a connection with our mind and becomes the focal point for meditative attention. The painting is meant to create an atmosphere of peace and quiet and to harmonise its occupant(s) in the surrounding space.
Reoccurring themes and elements are water, ocean, waves, horizons, light, globes and circles, spirals, rays, dimensions, etc.
The frames are part of the 'image' and link the surrounding space and painting in order to create a continuing dialogue that always ends in silence, attention and the now.
The receptive viewer experiences freedom, clarity, calm, vibrancy and positivism.
