This Quote by Arthur Boyd expresses what I feel about my work....
"If you look at my pictures and wonder what they are about, they are mostly about animals and people; they really have little to say unless the person looking at them is able to make up a story as to what these people are doing in the picture. If it is diffucult to find a story for these pictures, look for the true-to-life quality that some recognizable object may possess." ---Grazia Gunn, Arthur Boyd; Seven Persistent Images. (Australian National Gallery, Canberra 1985)
"My passion is to work in the studio and produce works that inspire me to keep working and develop new images. I usually work without prep sketches and I like to invent on the surface directly. My main subjects include landscapes, trees, birds, animals and the human form. My compositions are mostly surreal and expressionistic in style. For many years I have been working with a printmaking technique called the monotype or monoprint. This is my absolute favourite method of image making. It allows me to keep a stream of an idea ongoing and then I can explore many variations of that theme or image further almost endlessly." -- Riccardo
