In his works, the artist draws upon his connection to the earthly and material; through this connecting thread, he finds Hope. “When difficulties and trials arise, I try to find something to hold on to,” the artist says. The stronger your threads, the easier it is to overcome adversity.
Each painting depicts ships’ rigging, which must withstand immense strain at sea and therefore has to be strong. Hope of reaching the destination is revealed through the willpower and steadiness of the hands that use it.
