ARTIST STATEMENT
It is the transcendental mood which interests me the most. I prefer an ambiguous mood composed of vague and contradicting elements because they create a spiritual presence which takes me by surprise.
Through transience, every form of exclusiveness ends up in absurdity. Yet intangible sensations and emotions (physical and spiritual experience) are essential parts of human existence. I think I tend to visualise absurdity emotionally and with pictorial, artistic joy.
