About

The purpose of this website…

The purpose of this website is to give people an insight into the mind of an artist… from what he’s drawing and painting… to what he’s thinking about. The life fuels the ideas, which fuel the artistic impulse to create… thus the art and the person are one and the same. Van Gogh’s letters to his brother and Marcel Duchamp’s ideas on art are as much a part of their art as the canvas they painted on and the “ready-made” sculptures they exhibited. Through this website, I hope to start discussions, generate inspiration for myself and others, and expose my art and ideas to as many people as I can.
