I paint, in search of the inner being, through emotion and material.  

I stay close to home.

I make pictures that hold the moment.
Childhood is central to me; the child’s innocence and frailty; the sense that the shortest times leave the deepest impressions. I love to watch the human when it is not aware that I am looking. 

Central to my work is composition: the relation between motif, background, space, anti-space, and detail. I render dreamlike abstract space visible in relation to the human. I view the body as a landscape, the human as a phenomenon and the roles that we as humans take upon ourselves.

I see the portrait as a mirror of the ground we share. I use the human as material, reducing, enlarging and diminishing it, to find its final form

I work in different media, formats and techniques. I try to use fewer strokes, lines, surfaces and elements to tell the story more efficiently.
