“In painting, it is more important for me to convey onto the canvas the emotional state, as well as the physicality and movement of painting, rather than a precisely defined theme. I focus on the moment: colour, line, numerous layers, the three-dimensionality brought by abundant paint and the feeling of the moment.”
