Statement

In my artistic work I deal with the nature of perceived realities. I approach these by means of a poetic visual language, in which symbols from history, mythology and dreams mix with the everyday and the personal. The canvas offers me the space in which I can freely create references and develop narratives, constantly searching for the balance between realistic and naive figuration. From the painting itself, I thus develop stories and still images that exist in an atmospheric space, condensing memories into abstract moments that here become universally accessible and experiential.
