Since eight years ago painting has taken over my life. I work from detailed sketches and colour notes made in the area. Back in the studio I work out the multiple perspectives that lead the viewer across the picture. The collage is pasted over the surface in related blocks of colour, together with gesso, in different thicknesses and patterns. Then translucent glaces are applied with brush or palette. My images of Morocco, Gibraltar, and the circus are worked into my etchings, linocuts and lithography.
