ABAUT THE ARTIST:
“Art is able to make us view things from different perspectives at the same time. It is characterized
by affirming and welcoming contradictions, rather than smoothing them out or eradicating them. It
often requires from us to have several, even opposed ideas in mind at the same time.
In my work I use those oppositions to make the audience sensitive to connections, as in my works
so in the outside world, which we usually don’t notice. Today’s information and image bombardment gives me the possibility to do extensive research on topics that interest me and this leads to the creation of works that do not follow any chronology in themes or materials.
I deliberately do not search for any leitmotiv for my work, but strive to produce multiple levels of
meaning. I want that each one of the artworks I create has a life of its own and can exist without
any knowledge about my portfolio, autobiography, nationality, gender and eccentricity or ordinariness.”
