THE DOMINANCE OF THE WARMING COLD BLUE.

The paintings of this series of works focus on blue as a color. Blue has always been on my palette and in my paintings. Blue in its very different shades and statements has a great attraction , warmth, wanderlust, clarity, depth, abyss as well as distance, coldness, rigidity, loss. The only decisive factor is the compositional context in which the color appears. The diversity and emotionality of blue fascinate me as a painter again and again. Blue is an inspiration that reaches from the source to the mouth and out into the open sea.
