Artist’s Statement

I am inspired by peaceful moments and soft values. I work with oil on canvas, a medium I always return to even if I work with other media for a while. It fascinates me when intuition and process guides abstract works, layer by layer, towards an unpredictable result and the journey leaves space for surprises and for many interpretations. I like to play with thin and thick layers, and also with glossy transparency and velvety of beeswax. My goal is to create delightful painting marks and an organic whole of different shapes and colors.
