Statement

My work is basically formal and informal-abstract and the visual language draws on modernist aesthetics. I apply photography, painting and installation to focus on light and
space both of which are essential factors in my work, as well as is observing and exploring. A non medium-specific working practice emphasises particularly alteration and vicissitude.

Currently, I am working with natural resin as this allows me to experiment and provides me with new challenges in the use of traditional painting materials. The refracting surface and
bare canvas imply the core entities of space and light, playing on illusion and ambiguity.

Clear lines echo architecture but the gloss demonstrates sensuality, while its brittleness stands for fragility and transiency as well. I am inspired by the wide field of cognitive science and research on brain activity both for its implications about perception and cognition as well as for its interdisciplinary nature. My aim is to visualise virtual spaces, to translate atmospheres and to play on illusion and ambiguity, offering a space for calm and reflection.
