Statement
I try to portray a sense of place where the spiritual manifests itself through the sensible in connection to a sense of wonder and awe when we feel in the presence of something vast that transcends our understanding of the world. I have been sailing all my life and I could still contemplate the waters forever. I try to represent this feeling of openness, vastness and humility that I feel, that we all feel when confronted quietly to the power of nature.
