I work a wide variety of media including installations, film, photography and painting. The last three are closely linked, perceiving photography generally as the basis for my paintings, and the films tends to complement them. You could say that my work is a freeform game that blends a variety of techniques and representational methods, while remaining faithful to classical media: oil on canvas for my paintings.. I am a realist painter, because the images I paint are taken from particular environments or from existing elements but beneath the surface the concept is equally or even more important.
