Nowadays, we think we know everything.

We want to control everything.

I tell a diffuse story, inspired by everything that exists, just like in dreams.

The forms that appear in my paintings act like borders and land at the same time, demonstrating balance and tragedy. What is important to me is the creation of awareness, the quotation of something without saying it and maybe even without knowing it, the unconscious and the super conscious, the will to express something in an abstract way.

This process does not necessarily obey specific rules, I just do what I like to do in that very moment and feel kind of free.

While I paint, I can be the honest person that I am and celebrate that in a very romantic way. Also, I feel kind of naked while I paint, and I hope that the viewer feels at least a little bit naked, too.

Maybe it is a little bit like enjoying looking up in the sky but knowing the fact, that we all do have scars, that still take some time to heal.
