Notes


The world is my stage, both with regards to everyday as well as to grand gestures: large paintings, complex stage design, international collaboration or teaching at my school is just as much part of my multi-layered artistic work, as the interior design of my flat or the preparing of my meal – I create aesthetic composition in each aspect of my life.

Painting is the backbone of my work. I create large, abstract-expressionistic images, diptychs or triptychs, which have reign over the space they populate. I work with acrylics, lacquer, charcoal and pencil, and gestural lines, drips and planes. The canvas is often unstretched and stapled to the wall or floor so that it can take my whole body and energy. I am not necessarily careful and work physically with my entire body, to leave powerful gestures. Emotions, which I carry inside of me, I transfer and materialise.

Construction and destruction of colours, lines and planes are a united entity to create something on the canvas that touches people. A transference through matter.

Music and dance are the origin of art and most definitely the origin of my own art. As a six-year-old, I was already dancing ballet. This movement of my body as an expression of emotion is still visible in the way I bring colour onto the canvas. It is not a tentative scurrying, but powerful and broad movements, energy, which is worked into the canvas, into a two-dimensional state.
