Artist statement

Our society has reached its edges. Politicians and their voters are no longer able to influence this. Artists, philosophers and scientists are needed now more than ever to demonstrate new ways, because governing the world out of fear or financial gain is not a durable vision.

My mobile home is a means to manifest myself as an art nomad. I position myself in the middle of society; on the other hand, I would like to keep the possibility to ‘escape’ it all, and experience nature freely. It is not really an escape but rather a search: always a flexible search for new values.

I work with contemporary materials like household plastics, plastic waste, acrylic paint and tape, to create paintings, collages, objects and installations. The main ingredients for my art emerge from themes like the current environmental problems and our influence on them, the glorification of economical values, and the various revolutions going on in the world today.

I try to find images that touch upon a new enlightenment of ourselves. With my work I like to expose our current culture and values as being in opposition with the power of nature, which will outlive us all: looking for new hope.
