Artist’s Statement
I paint with acrylic, oil and yogurth. Installations consisting of paintings, wallpaintings and wall drawings, are a typical manner of presenting my work. The source of the works are often collages of photographs, representing people and art. The image is always carefully thought, the execution improvised. I'm interested in power and incompleteness, aggression and frailty, the language of arts and the art history. In my latest works I've asked my friends and colleagues to my studio as models: middle aged men as they are.
