STATEMENT
Inspired by the inner life of the watercolour process of
it self, and by nature surroundings,it forms the primay way I work.
Motifs often comes from the immediate surroundings where I live or
has connections to. When working with watercolors, you get an
opportunity to follow a water flow like a child, coloring it,
watching it moves, manipulate it, and most important - learning how
to control it. Whenewer thinking I got the grips of the twist and
turns, the process will always present a new direction, leaving me
humble behind, just like the nature did some moments ago when
trying to catch it on paper.
