My works are mostly about perception - the way we look at the world, building up the whole image from different parts - fragments, based on our emotional relationships and intellectual experiences of any particular image, and the role of time and distance in this process of seeing. My recent paintings are developed through careful observation of photographic sources, and they indicate the itinerary of discovery, characterised by detours, delays and repetitions but also emphasise the selection and memorising of the origin. One of the most important areas of my interest in painting, which is in itself a time-consuming process, is the presence of simultaneous layers of reality and imagination, allowing paintings to be viewed as records or repositories of time. Painting examines an extension of the ordinary act of looking and this process lies somewhere between aligning memory and evoking presence.
