My pictures are inspired by the search for a narrative mythical image that resonates with our times. The oil paintings are made using a multi-layered technique on canvas. The woodcuts are printed on fine Japanese papers using waterbased inks. The watercolors are painted with transparent pigments on fine European papers. My short fiction is based on what I see in my pictures. I believe that technique should serve vision, and I believe that the better the technique, the better it will serve.
