Playing and experimenting with colours and materials is the focus of my paintings.
My tools are my hands, rarely a brush is used. I play with acrylic paints and structure pastes on canvases and with whatever materials I have collected, whether zip, paper, felt, gauze bandage. Moreover, I set accents with gold and silver and let myself be surprised by what happens by chance.
My paintings are sometimes puristic, linear, sometimes an explosion of colour - always consistent in execution.
I would never suggest to the viewers what they want to see in my pictures. Playing with the materials and the coincidental creates pictures that can tell stories.
A short essay on colour
Everything is colour ?
The rainbow has the colours of the iris, personified in Greek mythology by the messenger of the gods, Iris. As numerous and inexhaustible as the myths surrounding Iris are the essays on colour.
Aristotle was probably the first person to study colour mixtures. Colour researchers and colour teachers such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Philipp Otto Runge, Erwin Schrödinger, Johannes Itten and many others either complement each other in their essays or are controversial to each other.
Is everything really colour? Reality is full of colours, but colours do not exist in reality. The colours we see do depend on the light that is directed into our eyes by the external world, but perceptions such as red or green only arise deep inside the brain. So colours are not only "deeds of light", as Johann Wolfgang Goethe called it, colours are also deeds of the ego.
