Artist’s Statement
“The main theme in my recent works is childhood. It came very naturally to my works after my son was born. I want to describe above all the sensitivity of the child, his ability of being surprised and living in a moment. Small things may be big and big things small when you look at them with open mind. Smallness, sensitivity and wondering are matters which too easily are trampled on by a hurry and effectiveness in the adults’ world. In my works I combine different printmaking techniques such as etching, aquatint, woodcut, imagOn and chine collé.
