To paint is to hope—to fight for everything I hold dear.
To paint is to hope—to hope for the future of our children and grandchildren—to hope for the future of the planet!
The drama in the painting is created, among other things, by placing the figures physically in a vast emptiness, beneath a dark sky or against a dramatic background. The light and the contrast are accentuated when the very brightest meets the very darkest. Again and again, music is created from the poetry of the colour tones. We long, we are drawn in, we feel.
