“I work in a broad range of mediums and subjects, as an artist, illustrator and graphic designer. I experiment all the time. That is why I change themes and styles as often as I change a place of living.I pull out objects of depiction onto the surface of the canvas or set them visually in front or behind the surface. Work knows what it wants. Form tells me about itself. I paint and translate. This language has its main roots in synthetic cubism developed by Picasso and Braque a hundred years ago. I found it quite flexible for what I presently want to do in search of concrete forms of my sensations and perceptions to get to the heart of what is before me.”
