ARTIST STATEMENT
From a figment of the imagination to a completed piece, unwilling to case myself in a single style, I combine different techniques and media to realise my work, offering a wide arrange of media and techniques to best adapt to the piece at hand or clients’ wishes. My works combine small and large marks and different media.
My works I describe as figurative with a hint of abstract. I like to stay in between the reality and the dream, leaving them “traditionally” unfinished, to involve the spectator in the process, making their minds complete the parts that are not there.
I paint because I need to. Through my life, art has been the only constant thing, the only passion that has been with me for as long as I can remember. I dawdle in different techniques and styles to explore everything that catches my eye as an interesting new string to my bow, evolving and growing, going as far as I possibly can. Strongly influenced by the classical education I received which I use as a basis; I always aim to add a twist to my works from any other interesting, more contemporary currents that I come across.
