Statement

The process and act of painting are at the centre (stage). Both research and experimenting with selfmade ink and paint from colouring matters from collected or homegrown flowers or plants, are essential to me. Assembling ink and paint on paper and canvas is a surprising interplay of flowing and hardening, blending and rejection, predominating and submerging, fusing together and disintegrating. All this is influenced by my actions. Finding that things happen, come into being because I assemble materials, fascinates and inspires me. My works are not representations, but are the result of the way in which psychical actions and the used materials meet. My working method is consistent, the end result, however, is always not known beforehand. Form and content are free, but colour and the power of matter determine the image.
