“Still Life is my chosen theme. I concentrate on natural forms that I have personally selected, removed from their usual context and placed them in a composition and arrangement that invites the viewer to take a new and closer look.

The feeling that I am endeavouring to create is a combination of the fragility and intrinsic beauty of the found natural objects and to experiment with scale and form."
