What I love about water – ocean, lake, river, waterfall – is how it is always changing. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même. Change is inevitable. The challenge is how to capture the depth, the movement. In my abstract, acrylic paintings, water sometimes looks like water, but it also sometimes looks like space or sky. Honestly, it’s not something I always control. Some paintings just happen.

DESCRIPTION:
Hraunfossar is a long series of waterfalls in Iceland where the glacial melt and spring water gush out from under the lava field down into the Hvita river. A few of my photos could yield and almost unending number of paintings. This is my second.
