our mouthful of artists

My work offers tension between comfort and discomfort. I have perceived this balance in communal society and my individual experience as the repetitive sign of hope during the constant search for comfort results in a life of high expectations.
Yet we accept the disappointment that follows this façade of freedom as just ‘Life’ and ‘Shit happens’… As long as the next hopeful sign of comfort is dangled within sight. |

As an artist I explore optical quality.
I find interest in manipulating the paint and seducing the viewer. My work aims at presenting a representation of reality, an experimental expression. My work is about heart paints, hands follow, and then observing the results in the hope to understand movement, paint and intuition. A reality and a dream state intercepts one another and no words are needed, just color, light and form. I communicate my ideas of paint and what it can achieve through still life compositions. With such form one is able to realize the importance of the material itself and push the boundaries it presents. The material and process then becomes the most important component of painting. |

My wicked dreams are hunting me every night. All the sights, smells, sounds, STORIES I could tell, they are sitting on my back begging to be born onto this world. Thus I obediently sketch all monstrosity and beauty lingering in my head. I believe they all exist somewhere in parallel realities scattered around the cosmos.
Using elusive archetypes, metaphors and symbols hidden in old fables I am creating an eerie, mysterious world. With my imagination steering the wheel I try to convey a captivating narrative the viewer can follow. With little hints given its up to them to decode what is the real Story. |
