Artist’s Statement

I am a painter and photographer. The light shooting involves physical movement and shooting the presence of an intense situation changes. I feel as a part of the filming of paintings sketching. Often feel, it also appears that the painting seems photography content. I do not know how to distinguish which of the two is more important.

I'm interested in the light and the light created by spaces. The content of the works to give shape to the perceived scale of life situations and dreams a throwback to that time. Besides the color pigments layered, making it interesting, everyday toil. The old textiles and patterns color schemes have been areas of interest. They are usually the starting point for paintings, which combine biodiversity.

I paint and graphic works of different sizes, which as a unified whole tells the story mainly a woman's life. Potholder Landscapes, cloths, curtains, human being is a small list of the living arrangements of woven things and situations with outlining my work. I combine different techniques to be happy.
