Artist Statement

My oil painting technique is based on the old Dutch masters, such as Vermeer.

 

My choice of motif is explained by my proximity to street art and my everyday life in the city. The city is broken, chaotic and at the same time shiny and bright. The perception of my surroundings is shaped by the focus on disharmonious compositions and their aesthetics. The path to the final motif

in the painting begins with an idea that has its origins in my everyday life in the city.

 

Depicting everyday situations using a painting technique based on Vermeers strategy is part of this disharmony. The process of color-sensitive, soft, slow painting contrasts with the speed and indifference of everyday life.

 

With the Paintings I create an opportunity for a different perception.
