​

As a child with epilepsy, his world was characterised by sudden seizures and unpredictable emotional outbursts. In the midst of this chaos, he found refuge in the world of colour. This showed him early on that colours can have an immediate impact on emotional well-being. Artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, David Hockney and Josef Albers showed him that colour and effect have a special power and that the tension lies in the subjectivity of each individual colour. The field of tension in his art moves between abstraction and reality and deals with moments, feelings, memories and longings. His art is reduced to the essentials, even if the essentials are often not insignificant.
