Van Renselar is primarily concerned with illustrating his own unique view of life using composition, colour and an ever-changing form of symbolism to create intriguing and strikingly different art. He takes ideas from experiences which are visual, cerebral and emotional in nature.
As he says, "I want to use my knowledge of colour, shape and line to make pictures which involve and intrigue the viewer. I take ideas from around and within me, using intuition and imagination to create a new context. Much of my work stems from my subconscious, where I see actions, events and ideas as particular shapes and colours.”
