“Painting with oil colours
on linen, using traditional
techniques and transparent colours in many lay-
ers, has been the main method in my work for
years. I continue to apply traditional methods as
well as searching for new ways in my art. This has
led me to work with video; to “paint” with the
camera, catching the light, the transparency and
changes in nature, more directly”. GK
