Artist’s Statement
For me, art is the fundamental metaphysical activity of humankind. The Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne stated that art and nature present themselves as two parallel harmonies, existing alongside one another, thereby being equal. To understand the complexity of landscape, we have to acknowledge limited understanding. Often in this limited state is where we experience higher reasoning, precisely because we acknowledge shortcomings. “We have art so that we shall not die of reality”
