Why I paint surrealism
I did not set out to paint surreal images. They emerged naturally. I found myself taking real situations and shifting them beyond reality — not into fantasy for its own sake, but into something more intriguing. Once that process began, I could not stop.
My Aim as a Painter
It is always the same: to place a powerful emotion inside the artwork. Others may paint what they see I try to paint what I feel about what I see. Colour, structure and composition become vehicles for that feeling and surrealism the way to structure the art to effect. My blog post Getting Emotion into a Paintings expands on this point.
