Artist Statement -



I am not rigid author stuck in my tried and true manner of expression. My interests branched from painting into installation and video and vice versa, because I am exploring the gesture of representation with different “lens.” I am finding the way to modernize and rename the formal cognitions of modernism into completely different constellations of meaning.
My research on perception and the use of light lead to image spaces where the shades and highlights of colors, blended into each other, create the monochromatic visual effect thus provoking an impression on the observer. Working between those limits and kind of pointing them out is something I enjoy doing because it’s not just the fact that you are bringing the cosmos down into the space where you live, but that your perception helps create that as well.
