(Oil on canvas)

Art is one of the only fields through which you can travel in time and bring to the surface distant memories as if they were a roadmap etched in your mind. These memories could be of your own, or even memories of others.

In these oil paintings I try to capture distant memories from different places throughout my life.

The pictures are smudged as if I'm gazing at the landscape from a running car.  Just like the paintings, my memories are not always focused, my dreams, anyones dreams can never make obvious sense but, like the paintings, the pleasant feeling of a revisiting  memory is important for me, while the exact figurative details are no more than secondary.
