Artist Statement -



In my art the rules that I set up for myself play an important role, the reason for this being that within the framework of these rules I can make use of the opportunity of boundless freedom by means of my acquired knowledge and the reception of new inspirations.

Since 2007 I have been working on a series whose members are unfolding from one another, the point of departure being four basic elements inspired by the Javanese batik. With the help of these shapes I create colorful and intricate networks which are without any mechanic fixation and are greatly variegated due to the utilization of the infiltrating accident. The networks are placed above one another as intertwining planes. These structural systems can stand on their own (“Faktor” series), but they can establish illusionary spaces as well (“Intro” series) or even contradictory spaces (“Simbion” series). At the same time in this painterly world figural elements may appear too (“Factor-Organic” series).

In my painting I mingle my occidental cultural foundation with inspirations of the oriental culture in a peculiar way. In my opinion it is indispensable for an artist to be open to the world, to widen knowledge continuously. To achieve this one must gain a close insight into other cultures. I continuously develop my own knowledge and techniques to be always up-to-date.
