Around 2004, a moment of absentminded musing with leather scraps prompted a sculpture series. A leather construction technique he invented in his early years, merged with the inherently primeval nature of the material. That this was a system with which he could create artforms to express his sense of primordial forces was made clear by African tribal masks.

The magical beauty of the Neolithic paintings in the Lascaux and Altamira caves inspired the last step to totally embracing a more primitive style in his imagery. The final ingridient was the coarse, tactile feel of their pigments on the rough cave surfaces. His original, delicate, Conté drawings on paper, transformed into large, gritty, pastel drawings on canvas.

Since then, archaic themes, ancient art forms and wisdom traditions have become the source as well as the intent of his imagery.
