Works/ Statement

„(…) In this world, everything is entangled: aquatic form, vegetation, structure, ‘something’ never
before categorised. The painterly entanglements touch on fundamental matters of survival –
nourishment, disappearance, extinction, dimming. The entanglements and cover-ups create a
multifaceted structure that is created slowly and relies on keeping the thin layers of paint
applied one after the other in harmony. I try to achieve the impression of a lack of heaviness
while maintaining the transparency of these layers. The only ‘essential remains to be
discovered beyond the boundaries of the self’” . Even the bottom of the painting is supposed
to be in a state of suspension, without hierarchy. These damp membranes persist but are not
fully materialised; they remain in constant superposition, in a state of overflow between truth
and fantasy. These states persist in constant and damp communication. The transparencies of
the layers set off an interferential dance of random transmission in a self-forming drawing of
‘something’ never before formed.(…)”
