ARTIST'S STATEMENT

 

“I like to discover and experiment, not only colours, composition and painting styles but also my vision of life and the extraordinary beauty in the unexpected, the disregarded, and the unconventional.

 

I want to challenge imposed values and norms in my search for freedom through a sense of surrealism in my work. Through the surrealistic approach, I want to highlight the interplay of dynamic colours in shapes and forms, patterns and dimensions set in harmonious and rhythmic atmosphere which have been formed within my conscious logical mind or born out of my subconscious during the painting process.

 

Even though there are recognizable scenes or objects portrayed in my artworks, I don’t paint what I see. I paint the feelings and emotions that have been stirred in me from what I see or have seen.

 

My inspirations are from my encounters, memories and relationships that I have with people, nature and the world. Exploration and self-discovery are part of my art-making. With symbolic patterns, stylized shapes and forms in bright colours, my works speak about the diversity of interpretation that makes viewers ponder.”
