Stretching time with art. With my work, I explore time. Why does it sometimes seem to fly by, while at other moments it moves unbearably slow?
I want to draw attention to what is often overlooked: the moment that isn’t happening elsewhere, but right here, right in front of you. It’s a call to forget the rush, to look, to simply be.
The monochrome, diffuse areas in my paintings invite the viewer to pause. If you only glance quickly, you’ll see just a block of colour. To truly perceive them, you have to stop whatever else is occupying your mind.
My photographs echo this idea: they show that life always continues, even though we are only part of it for a short time. And that’s exactly where beauty lies.
For me, impermanence isn’t a gloomy idea, it’s reassuring. The fact that everything continues is comforting to me. That awareness is what my work aims to deepen. It’s what stretches time.
