ARTIST'S STATEMENTM

When I am moving the brush across the surface of the paper, it is crucial to me that there is nothing forced, but that the paint flows or is brushed in a way that retains the integrity of the brush, the paint and the paper, as well as the demands the intuitive process makes. These spontaneous forms appear on the paper without correcting thoughts or intentions and are pushing me towards simplicity in terms of application as well as in terms of the resulting image.
