These paintings are in opposition to the culture of images which blossom when copied remixed verbally stated or reshaped into signs for something else. They cannot be experienced nor understood vicariously- but must be met in raw flesh. These biomorphic ‘slices’ limited in width and length, use the third dimension to reach from walls towards us, while we alter their steel glow approaching from every angle. I am reflecting the ‘utopian impulse’-the desire to build a beautiful world- but will it be through technological progress, by going back to our primordial roots or symbiosis of the two? These colliding principles create the main drama in my works. Graphic and atmospheric information are abstracted out from the wild nature and the emerging synthetic worlds and melted into tactile visions. Ecstatic of “being alive” in the times of urbanization and plasticization, surreal bioengineering, networking of networks, build-up of environmental and economic catastrophes and a holistic global culture, I take an emotional, expressionist route in constructing metaphors for the imminent human condition.
