It appeals to me, it's the way I want to paint. That's the short answer, here comes the scientific one. When I paint I simplify, then I simplify some more, but without taking away the essence of what I'm painting. For instance, a forest is still a forest, even if you can't pick out a single tree in the picture. Shapes and colors are everything when it comes to creating the impression of a forest.
I'm always amazed at the things people see in my paintings, things I didn't put there. My explanation is this, painting is a two-way street. The beholder becomes a part, he relates to the picture, filling it with creations of his own mind. The abstraction leaves room for imagination. How about that for a philosophical approach to my art?
It is a great gift to give someone the ability to see . . .
