”My practice allows me to explore fictional narratives, which enable me to remove all concrete limitation and boundaries. I make art to try to understand myself, my environment and the greater world beyond. […] I paint characters that investigate and confront the void. I paint characters that are facets of myself, but not earthbound. I paint characters that stem from a distant, lingering yearning for freedom.”
