A major part of my painting is owed much to chance, the subconscious and to dream imagery. I would start by making rapid sketches directed by instinct and intuition using inks and pencils on paper. These sketches are the beginning of a journey of emotions and feelings expressed through lines and marks that come to life following each other. Sometimes playful, sometimes shy or bold and other times solemn and melancholic, they take on a personality of their own.
