Abstraction has the power to indicate, to touch on, to
suggest the essence of existance. The direction of
abstraction in my paintings is symbolic and conceptual
and touches the area of chaos theory and fractal imagery.

The power and diversity of nature, the sensitivity of chaotic
dynamical systems, the cosmos or universe considered as
an ordered system, the charge of internal human-energy
expressed and linked through an invented visual language
and personal imagery indicates the philosophical and
conceptual intentions of my work.

My concern is a linking of inner reality with the underlying
reality of the world or of nature in a metaphysical sense
suggesting the changing nature of emotional life and the
critical spirit of creativeness.
