Light at the Door, 2025, oil on canvas, 91 x 61 cm
I was walking through the house recently when I saw a band of light stream across the floor and rise up the door. It seemed to suggest something alive wanting to get through the door. It also looked like an idea for a minimalist painting. Although some of my paintings are detailed, I do like minimalist images as well. Over the years I've come across two sayings, which are 'more is more' and 'less is more', and both approaches apply to my paintings, depending on what presents itself to my eye and mind. A good way to put it is to say that when I look at Holbien's paintings I don't wish for less and when I look at Morandi's paintings I don't wish for more.
