I like paintings that refuse to make a point. Instead, they deliver a mystery, something to be unravelled with input from the viewer. They leave room for your own history to become a player, to ignite a thread that will take its own turns and outcomes and ultimately deliver an emotion and feeling that finds its own conclusion.
