Artist Statement:
Figure and human form play a
very important element in my
work.
I constantly refer to myself.
Although there are others.
People I care about and people
I meet. I freeze a remembered
moment on canvas. Like the
expression of a thought or a
feeling, somebodys face,
laugher, a grimace, or a body
posture.
The subject which I find for
my work comes from everyday
life and it can be personal or
about something I’ ve seen on
TV or read in a newspaper. I
try to expose many of our
unconcious thoughts as well as
some of the more uncomfortable
human impulses, like envy,
betrayal or humiliation.
Relationships between the
characters in my pictures
depict the power games we play
with each other, games which
end with tears as often as
with laughter.They show
people’s frailty and
vulnerability as well as their
capacity for joy or pleasure,
their cruelty as well as their
affection.
I tell stories of personal and
cultural transformation, of
fear and hope...
