Original artwork description:

A very expressive work on paper.

When I made this artwork, I wanted to combine expressionist and impressionist styles to tell both sides of thistles – their repulsive prickly leaves and their delicate flowers.
So next time you're out exploring the great outdoors, remember that even the most seemingly ordinary things can hold extraordinary beauty.

23 x 31 cm (9 x 12 inches)

I work in a spontaneous, intuitive and gestural way, where the unconscious takes up more space than the conscious. I do not seek to represent my environment, but rather to evoke an emotion. I first choose a colour palette, then I spread the paint without really thinking. When I am satisfied with the result, I take a break which allows me to think about the next step. I add details that guide the eye through the work and give it meaning.
