Artist Statement:
In general, my goal is to
combine the artistic
craftsmanship of classical
painting with the limitless
possibilities of imagination
in contemporary art. I strive
to make a well-made aesthetic
work of art by maintaining
quality and using any
technique that’s available to
me. If I have anything to
convey at all in my work the
very least I can do is to
paint it well. With this being

of the art world wants to
categorise every artist,
Neo-popart is as close as I
can come to defining my style.
It is not a retro-style. I’m
not endeavouring to revive the
sixties or copy any of the
great giants of popart. No, I
want to make contemporary,
post-conceptual art. There is
enough pretentious, cerebral,
coolly calculated, analytical
and de-constructive art out
there already.
My intent is to bring back the
emotions in art, even the most
simple and sentimental ones. I
don’t shy away from
incorporating kitschy elements
in order to make a point -

occasionally. I want to bring
about emotions but not in an
