These paintings do not use illusionistic techniques to create spatial depth. Instead our eyes are invited to navigate a web of spots, dots and rivulets of coloured grounds. Blink and they are replaced by vial constellations. These paintings mimic the act of stargazing - only in miniature. They are for stargazers who want a little glimpse of heaven on their living room walls. For Noj these paintings offer a visual sanctuary, each one a location for hope, contemplation and wonder.
