About my life drawings;
I am a graphic designer by profession,
and by passion.
I guess for me drawing is the antidote
to the often rigid disciplines of design.
So when I draw, I am not particularly interested in detail,
nor in realism.
I enjoy the brush with a mind of its own,
and the happy accident.
I draw from real life,
I don’t trace from internet images.
I draw because I enjoy the unpredictability
and the anticipation of what might emerge.
