Artist's Statement

´Art as a unified field of experiences and activities.
Disciplines as divided parts of thought
(constructive knowledge forming apparatus).
Action (doing) goes beyond thought. It explores.
Thought builds based on defined knowledge.
Defined concepts as empty containers in the ever-changing present...
Empty containers of something that once was´

This triggered my interest and followed the critique quest on my primary art practice, painting. An implicit auto analysis on the making, on the disciplines per se as a reference to the ´medium´ that transmits a message or experience. Often becoming itself the subject of the artwork.
​
Generally, I aspire to have a closer understanding of reality, and by looking critically into painting as a discipline and as a language, I hope to convey the true nature of such a tool, which eventually could lead me to engage better with the reality of things. I see language in its totality, the Image, the space, and the matter as sort of ultimate perceptive tools or senses.
​
Therefore, I prefer to operate with the latest subjects in an open field of study without singular predefined concepts or syntax, exclusive disciplines, trends, styles, currents, or mediums.
