“Figurative and abstract concepts are not in conflict, one being part of the other and vice versa.Abstraction is to simplify and generalise. Realism provides the detail and improves one’s understanding of the subject.”

“Therefore, the forms, lines and touches of colour placed at the beginning of the watercolour in an abstract way and with various brushes, provide the fabric from which the subject emerges.”

“I sometimes feel like contrasting the transparency of the watercolour to its substance, so that they melt into a new vision of reality. The use of pigments, collage, and opaque colour conveys this feeling of proximity and reality, creating pools of light both familiar and mysterious as they emerge from the shadows.”
