Statement

My work? A deep dive. It's about looking behind the visible. Dragging secrets, the invisible, into the light – even those that resist being understood. A puzzle that can never be fully solved.

Without immediately evaluating, without judging, without that constant stream of commentary that sorts everything into drawers. It's the pause between beats – everything is connected to everything, like a giant spider web of invisible threads. My work is deeply rooted in the elements of nature – wind, fire, water, earth – the ones I grew up with as a child. These elements are inseparably connected. Because in the end, everything is connected. Everything.

Once you grasp that, your inward gaze becomes sharper. A tweet, a discarded piece of plastic, a misused word. The art you see, the music you hear, the news you receive – they didn't just fall from the sky. They are products of people, of stories, of history. When we understand this connection, we understand that we are not just isolated atoms drifting through a vacuum. We are part of a whole – that deep hum that tells you where something comes from and where it's going. Without context, everything is just noise, a chaotic pixel soup. With context, it becomes a story, a drama. Mindfulness, connection – these are the tools we need to avoid drowning in the digital fog and to keep our eyes on the goal: life in all its raw, imperfect, pulsating beauty.

That's why I weave together the "dirty" and the "shiny": old fabrics, newspaper prints, wood, paper, cardboard, string, oil and pigments. The boundaries between art and life blur as I build layer upon layer. The result is a complex fabric of textures and stories, giving me the freedom to link different realities. Entirely new, freely interpretable meanings emerge. The subtle understanding of opposites is what life is about. The most important of these are the serious, weighty things – and they logically lie on the ground.

Ultimately, I am not interested in things I fully understand. Knowing I'm onto the right things is more important than understanding them. There are truths that lie beneath the surface of the images, truths that only reveal themselves sporadically, like the Northern Lights in a winter sky. What we don't truly feel, we forget.
