Catalogue Note
"One gets poetic feelings when the situation is quiet and intimate, when one has time to reflect, to be pensive. A sunset or music can help this overall feeling of peace, satisfaction, even happiness. I try to portray something of this complicated ""atmosphere"" as the subject matter of my paintings, be it small or big. The movement is in the brushstroke; the landscapes are still."
