The main theme of my work lies in a curiosity for the human condition , the constant fluctuation of the human soul ,its incompleteness, contradictions and strugglings
This inner landscape opens itself to me as infinite and fragmentary, and in my art I find it important to grapple with what is genuine and real under these many layers of complexity. I am working with these themes in relation to color, the flatness of the canvas, and the paradox of how this opens into spacious content. I see the figures on my canvas as observers of life itself, without an escape from breath, heartbeat, dreams, and anticipation of the unspoken.
