Artist Statement:
The main theme of my work
could be seen as “the search”.
I’m highly interested in the
conceptual part of art, but I
can’t ignore the plain power
of a strong image, with no
meaning whatsoever. In my work
I’m constantly searching in
both directions.
What I’m searching for, isn’t
always clear, but one thing is
sure: I’m constantly striving
for conceptual and/or visual
power, ways to make them
stronger or work together. The
result of a search isn’t
always shown, just because the
search never came to its
conclusion or because the
result of that search wasn’t
satisfactory. I’m also trying
out different media and
materials. This leads to a way
of working where the making of
the work could be seen as more
important than the result
itself.
Some of my works are just a
moment in a search, and
exactly therefore show a lack
of conceptual/visual strength.
At the same time I’m very
aware of the fact that the
viewer, even if he sees just a
moment in a search, always
sees a work as an end result.
This also influences my work.
