        Picture
        "As an artist I find inspiration in my own private being. One’s most inner thoughts and feelings are always more authentic than borrowed concepts. Inadvertently this translates into one’s art. My works often feel uncomfortable, although they vibrate with colour. I attempt to depict a feeling of displacement and weariness, while keeping a passionate tone. My style is almost compulsive, built up by successive layers. For the most part very precise, at times more wild. Ultimately, they represent an inner struggle to look into my own depths to manage to put together the pieces".
