Having grown up in Europe, I have always experienced definite boundaries in landscape: In contrast, travelling through the Australian landscape there is a sense of infinity, and frequently only suggestions of human activity. I find this fascinating. In my current paintings, I combine the absence of human figures with the presence of tended agriculture, water tanks and communication lines which serve to imply the human activity As I seek to portray landscapes that are visually and emotionally powerful, I find a strong affinity with the Romantic painters of the sublime landscape, such as Turner or Friedrich. Although the aesthetics of my work are heavily influenced by abstract expressionism, it is the concept of the sublime that most eloquently describes the intentions I have for my paintings. A sublime landscape possesses a sense of grandeur, intensity, and importance: it has the ability to make humans feel small, to see their lives with perspective and their troubles as less important.

I live and work in Sydney. While my works are inspired by a strongly narrative element grounded in the context of my own personal experience and history, much of my painting is devoid of figuration and extraneous detail. Large areas are left undefined, empty of fuss and unnecessary congestion. I leave these dark holes for the viewer to peer into and struggle through. For me, drawing and painting are both journeys through layers. My paintings are intensively worked, scrapped back repeatedly and re-configured, looking for something that is unified, full and ordered. In my works the sheer physicality of paint, its density and the archaeology of the layers, its application and movement across the surface is inseparable from the content. I believe it’s not enough to simply describe what we see, one has to recreate the landscape in painterly form by simplifying and accentuating so that we can understand the truth and tensions that exist therein.
