Artist Statement

With my art, I attempt to approach each painting with a child-like openness. I begin my paintings in a very structured form using grids and pre-cut shapes. Then I feel completely free to start defacing this structure, by adding and subtracting new shapes and looking for harmonious combinations. Every layer is subsequently applied with freedom and gesture with different tools, such as spatulas, brushes, oil pastels, paint tubes, tape, etc. Each color plays its part, looking for balance, but at the same time looking for the elements of surprise.

It is my hope that when people view my work, they not only experience the composition and color but above all have a feeling of discovery and wonderment.
