About The Artwork
I made sketches for this small painting a few years ago after seeing a documentary on children in war zones. It was only for a brief moment that I saw this boy with his pet sheep in his arms. There is much to be said about the place children are forced into through their 'parents'' wars, through religious wars. The lamb is a strong symbol in many religious beliefs. But in this boy's arms this lamb is life, not sacrifice.

Switzerland
I have been working as a painter for the past twenty years, both in Australia, and Switzerland. Throughout my career I have been working with five colours almost exclusively, mixed or layered. I hardly ever use white, instead working with the canvas' brightness. The stripes in my META and Kingfisher works develop over time, many layers leading up to the final composition. I do not use masking tape or rulers, only allowing for two or three measured vertical lines on a canvas as guides at the very beginning of each painting.
