Artist’s Statement
The important is already present, here and now. I take a look at various objects or forms, look at them and hope to see more than meets the eye.
I touch soft fabric or smooth metal, roughness, texture. I worry what is left when we depart this life. I try to use something that already exists and mold it according to my needs. The form as a visual element is important to me.
Presently I tend to observe the world through the lens of a camera. I take a lot of photos and examine them with my computer thus making new combinations of them. Colors have strongly entered my life and art.
Printing the photos on polycarbonate/plexiglass, glass or plywood gives them new kind of depth and shine which pleases my eye.
The lightness of aluminium brings a different feel to my photos.
