"I consider the paintings to be contemporary in style but, by using traditional elements, my aim is to also capture the past creating a traditional feel when you look at the paintings. I want to evoke the ancient, mysterious history of the land with all its stories. The landscape to me encapsulates everything about the place – its history, its beauty, my own personal stories, the deep underlying spirituality, and so on. The place speaks, and this is what I want to preserve by framing the landscape of my country”.
