«Πιστεύω ότι μια ομάδα από ζωγραφισμένα μοτίβα πάνω σε μια ματ χρωματισμένη επιφάνεια, δημιουργούν ένα συνεχώς εναλλασσόμενο σχέδιο και ταυτόχρονα ένα πεδίο δράσης.
Το χρώμα δρα ως καταλύτης στη δουλειά μου, με τη χρήση των αντίθετων χρωμάτων επί της επιφάνειας, με τα μοτίβα και τα περιγράμματα. Στα έργα όπου τα μοτίβα τονίζονται με περιγράμματα, δημιουργείται ένα δεύτερο σχέδιο στο χώρο μεταξύ των μοτίβων - συνεπώς με το ένα εσκεμμένο σχέδιο δημιουργώ συμπτωματικά και ένα δεύτερο.
Το χρώμα έιναι εξίσου σημαντικό με το σχέδιο/μοτίβο στη δουλειά μου. Και τα δύο πρέπει να συδυάζονται καλά ώστε να συνυπάρξουν. Όταν δεν υπάρχει συνταίριασμα, δεν υπάρχει κίνηση - όταν δεν υπάρχει κίνηση, δεν υπάρχει δράση - όταν δεν υπάρχει δράση, δεν υπάρχει σύνθεση».
“I believe a group of randomly painted motifs on an opaque colour background creates an ever-changing pattern and field of activity.
Colour is a fundamental catalyst in my work and by placing contrasting colours together the fusion between the motif, outline and colour ignites . In the works where the motifs are outlined, a second pattern is created in the space between the motifs - thus with one intended pattern I coincidentally create a second.’
Colour in my work is as important as the motif - both must marry well in order to co-exist. When there is a miss match there is no movement - when there is no movement there is no activity - when there is no activity there is no composition.”
