Artist Statement



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.
