What inspires you?

I have always been attracted to abstract geometric art. When I started out as an art student I was looking closely at the art, artefacts, and architecture of both western and non-western cultures. The simplified beauty of a single geometric form always allured me to create something exciting and different with a refreshing modern twist.

Describe your creative process.

My paintings are a result of a three-part process that develops as it goes along. Line is my main ingredient, either straight or curved. Next, I scan that module and transfer the image onto the computer repeating, reversing or transposing, looking for interesting design manipulations in terms of colours and visual appeal before settling down on the canvas for final execution. The principal aspect of my painting technique revolves around careful registration of precisely defined areas of colour against one another. The pigment has to be absolutely flat and opaque.
