Specialist note

"I've always wanted to see what is behind the next hill, and that makes one into a landscape painter - and I do think Bali deserves a landscape painter... I like solitary things when I paint and I like to be alone. I also love architecture and I find that the firm and beautiful shape of a temple in a landscape sets off the two."
