Anselm van Rood

Beyond all theory and conceptualising, painting for me is an utterly mysterious, non-verbal dialogue between perception, feeling and paint. At its best - André Dunoyer de Segonzac speaks of a "state of grace" - a kind of magic can take over and the brushes, paint and canvas seem to be speaking all by themselves. When this happens -it is rare- it is the purest happiness I know.
