“My most recent paintings ‘The Omega (awaken-

ings 3d)’ builds on my previous series ‘Awakenings

(The Alpha)’ and ‘Awakenings Reloaded’ this is the

third in the trilogy of the awakenings theme. They

consist of a number of 15 cubes, 10 of which are wall

mounted and 5 of which are suspended at varying

heights from the ceiling, allowing the viewer a full 360

degree view of the works, also inspired by the land-

scape, what we perceive as everyday and perhaps ordi-

nary, the places we merely glance at without allowing

ourselves to get lost in the breathtaking creation and

beauty that surrounds us. This visual influence is deter-

mined by the surrounding landscape of my environ-

ment, but its intention is primarily as a catalyst in

expressing divinity and is therefore secondary to this

expression, the primary purpose being process, allowing

and presence.
