“Beauty might be seen as vain, but I find it interesting to contrast beauty with the unpleasant, serious and not so nice.
The sad and disgusting can also be something beautiful.
I use beauty to get the viewers attention, but there is so much more that I would like to convey other than beauty.
Human weaknesses and underlying defense mechanisms are often themes that recur in my work.
I try to keep an open attitude to methods and materials as I find my way to new techniques, combinations and approaches, but simultaneously always strongly rooted to the past”.
