wildlife art
in need for contemporary interpretation
Wildlife art - there is no other element more classic in the visual arts.. Since the early Stone Age, humans have been captivated with their fellow species, immortalising this relationship on canvas.
I try to reflect my own fond relationship with animals in my paintings. Having been fortunate enough to grow up alongside wild animals, my love only increased during the years I lived in Mongolia, Southern and Central Africa and North America.
According to my view all animals have a soul and this is that I hope to reflect in my art. I want to give the individual animals their own platform.
