I take my inspiration mainly from everyday visual experience enriched by

imaginative ideas. Architecture and philosophy are twin guides in this respect,

since I have extensive experience of working in these areas, yet despite these

abstract influences, every work I produce should contain a story. Imagine that a

picture can reveal its inner self while you, a fly on the wall, stand and listen. I

see an image on a canvas as something which embodies many voices. Just as

different colours and visual ideas simultaneously strike our eyes, so do a

painting’s voices strike our ears with a polyphony of meanings. I am now

working on ‘Background Voices’, a project in which imaginary conversations

will form an audio backdrop to each painting and offer the viewer a

simultaneous audio-visual experience.
