Kobus says, 'Texture drives my work.Without texture, I find it almost impossible to create. In every new piece, my challenge is to discover a different way to create a new and unique texture on the canvas. The more artwork I produce, the more difficult it is to find something new. The exploration stimulates interest, excitement, passion and creativity. This is maintained throughout the process, even to the production of the frame.' The painting is 21in. by 18-in.
