In my art, I investigate the uncertainty and unease created by our
constant exposure to, among other issues, terrorism, globalization
and the destruction of the environment. The purpose of the work
is to express these feelings of insecurity in a visually intriguing
and challenging way.
My own photographs are usually at the
basis of my creative process. They are transferred or glued to the
canvas and become a visual jumping point for my painted interpretations.
I also use newspapers, maps, music partitions and postcards. These
images may or may not have any relationship to one another. In fact,
most of the time, I choose images that do not rationally fit together.
On one end, they ground my work in reality, on the other end, they
add elements of irrationality, unbalance or surprise. It is up to
me to make sense of it all and reconcile all the elements of this
puzzle into a coherent, challenging and intriguing whole. Each piece
is different, with its own unique problems and solutions.
