Would painters keep on painting a certain subject if they knew why? Probably, the process of painting is a search for a reason. I'm fascinated by the heaviness of boulders, columns and menhirs, by pondering how they got them up there, considering also irrational explanations. I like to paint them as levitating objects or broken down, resting, piling up. They are puzzles from the past and carry long-forgotten messages.
Some of these paintings are not abstract any more, dangerously close to esoteric kitsch, I'm afraid, but I have to take risks on my search.
Oh, I forgot one of them! Here's an update. It is the one on top.
