I value chance and subconsciousness as important factors in creating a work of art because as Francis Bacon said, the moment you know what to do, you're making just another form of illustration.

My biggest influence by far when it comes to painting has been Francis Bacon. I discovered his work in my early teens, though it was not until my twenties when I truly engaged with his painting. For me personally, there’s nobody who was able to depict the intensity of human turmoil and pain so poignantly without actually illustrating it directly.
