’To experience feelings of wonder in my life and in the making of my artworks is essential to me.

This can happen when unexpected shapes appear in my paintings and sculptures, when materials come together in new ways and when I get surprised by the aesthetics in my surroundings.

I am drawn to experience the world through the senses. The tactile qualities of materials … the ‘feel’ of wood, clay, metal, cloth, modelling wax … are all with their individual qualities.

Usually I intuitively express myself through painting.
I can then choose to sit back and reflect on the created works.

This gives me the opportunity to discover new meanings and images that I can then work out either in painting, sculpture or other media depending on the subject at hand.

I try to maintain an openness and avoid judging my work.
This I find necessary to catch unexpected things when they come, following and clarifying them rather than to change them prematurely.

I am very interested in forms that are not directly recognizable and its impact on our emotions, feelings and our bodies.

What I discover in my artwork influences the way I perceive my environment.

It is also about keeping an ‘openness’ in my daily life so to catch special moments in the cooperation with my camera.

Art, nature, dance, photography, music, psychology, mythology, alchemy and the study of consciousness are a few of the many subjects that interest me.

‘Art’ gives me a platform to experiment, practice and combine all these interests.’
