Artist’s Statement
Why did you become an artist?
I became an artist in order to combine digital surrealism with bio-based and recycled materials. My practice is grounded in a holistic and multi-layered approach to interpreting reality, in which technology functions as a tool for articulating visual and material experiential phenomena.
What themes do you usually address?
In my work, I examine the relationship between organic and digital environments, and how technological processes shape materiality, space, and experience. My works often address structures and systems and their transformation into visual and material forms.
What is most important to you in your art?
Central to my artistic practice is a process-based and material-oriented approach. I seek to develop working methods in which digital production techniques and physical materials form a complementary whole. Responsibility and critical consideration of material choices are integral to my practice.
What are the foundations of your artistic practice?
My practice is based on an experimental and research-oriented approach. I work with digital methods such as vector graphics and printing techniques, combined with bio-based and recycled materials. My works often take the form of series or modular structures, in which a single visual starting point is developed across different forms, scales, and contexts.
