As an art-student, I accidentally got introduced to the work of Richard Diebenkorn. For no other reason then the colors of the book’s cover, I picked it up.

I was struck by the work of Diebenkorn immediately. Composition, the use of colors, brushstrokes, layering, clarity and how they all combined have such a strong reference to landscape without depicting it. Diebenkorn himself said about his work; "my paintings are abstractions that do not reject the world, but contain it, in a concentrated form." To this day I study his work and it continues to fascinate me how the work is both crystal clear and elusive at the same time.
