In my work , I use paintings and installations as if they were words.
The different motifs within my work correspond to very specific vocabulary inside a personal visual language.
The works are laid out in a way that aims to match the syntax of a writing.
I exist by means of my brush.
With my art I aim to make what I like to call "retinal storytelling". *
In order to make images of that which I've never seen, I play around with everyday objects on top of my desk.The way I see It , I take known elements and put them together to build traps in which I catch the unknown.
In the end, I could define what I do with my art as hunting.
That idea also matches a major theme inside the work, which is animal life.
I am fascinated by the duality I see in animals possessing the ability to coexist in complex social patterns,
and at the same time being capable of completely irrational and unpredictable behavior.
*"retinal storytelling" is a self-made term.
