My work is inspired by the unfathomable mystery of my own and human consciousness and the mere existence of anything. I have a deep fascination with the vastness of cosmos, time and space and I am drawn to concepts that bridge these worlds. The coexistence of chaos/order and complexity/simplicity and contrasts. Images come to me like a visual version of concepts and ideas that sparks my imagination, when I close my eyes and my mind is still. Thoughts fall short, other means of exploration takes me further into the understanding of the ineffable. Be that, in drawing, installation or performance. My deep hope is that what comes out of my explorations can resonate with you at some level, even if it’s not like my journey, as our worlds and filters of reality are as diverse as we are people on this planet.
