I have come to see my paintings as places of a dreamlike reality - a world where childhood and adolescence merge, forming a state of wonder, surprise and uncertainty; where the past blends with the future.
As an artist I am a visual thinker and enjoy playing with imagery and imagination. Painting, as a medium, serves me as a very sensual tool. It evokes a curiosity in me and intrigues me with its power of being a non-verbal space, telling stories without saying a word.
When I paint I melt things together, arranging and replacing realities, thrusting invisible matters into a physical being which folds and unfolds upon itself between the second and third dimension.
My work seeks to invite the viewer to enter into a playground where he or she can search for lost things, hunt for the unknown or just be drawn in by feelings of strangeness, suspense and the excitement of exploring a new world -just like drifting into a vivid dream.
