Things happen from moment to moment; I'm just trying to adapt to them.
I feel like we are constantly overwhelmed by a huge amount of information, which is pouring in from all directions. Almost every day, various incidents are immediately overshadowed by other events or some random tragedy. My brain can no longer keep up. Thanks to the internet and social media, we can easily see what is happening far away from us, on the other side of our planet, but we forget to notice the amazing things that are right under our noses.
That is probably why I am moving towards a certain simplification, towards a simple perception of colors and shapes; towards more ordinary or banal things. I am most inspired by animals, surrounding landscape, symbols, atmosphere of the village, photographs, books or perhaps personal memories. I then choose specific topics instinctively. I do not care so much about how and what exactly I create. I am putting thoughts that are currently running through my head into image collages, which I constantly review, repaint and change during the painting process.
I am interested in tension, indecision, melancholy, opposites, fatality and also balance; and above all beauty, my version of beauty...
