Paint

I distil my visual language from simple everyday phenomena such as signs, shapes or objects and reduce them to symbol or icon-like figures. While sketching and sliding, the image is adjusted, simplified, distorted, varied, doubled, mirrored and can later be sampled for a next painting. Meanwhile, a whole arsenal of shapes has been created that is subsequently applied in series. This creates a new world in which the relationship between different forms is explored in depth and in which new meanings and interpretations can arise.

The paintings eventually form a timeline that moves back and forth, in which memories are also loosely incorporated. Moments that have sometimes nestled in the memory in a strange way and claim a place there. Systematizing these meaningful coincidences, ordering, rearranging and distorting one thing leads to another.
