These paintings are not documentary in nature, that is, they do not
describe any specific event, space or time. Rather, they speak to the
human spirit in one's journey through life in the existential world.
For the human spirit, I generally use a cool colour for the figure, as it is
farthest from flesh tone. I endeavour to show that the spirit is
transplanted into an estrange environment. I employ contrasting
painting styles to underscore the incompatibility of the figure with its
environment, and pay considerable attention to the design of the
background, as it is a key to eliciting the emotional energy of the
painting.
