“Light, movement, nature and new spirituality with scientific grounding
are essential to my paintings.
I am fascinated by the insight into the emerging concepts of science and new thoughts about our existence which start to create a different sense of awareness. My best work seems to come out when I succeed to stay in a place of ‘no-time, no-space, no-body’ helped by yoga and meditation. I practi- cally live in the canvas.
My knowledge about color comes from my expe- rience in textile design and the world of fashion, knowing that a small alteration of color tone can change the whole mood of a collection.
My background of studying architecture made
me also a constructor. Layer by layer the painting grows, refining what you can barely see, accentuat- ing, canceling, for in the end, I want the viewer to feel intrigued by what they see without necessarily understanding it. I like the element of mystery, be- cause that’s what life is, mysterious. So I play a lot with transparency. I have a fascination with things I do not completely apprehend, which are disguises. And that’s exactly why I paint abstract.”
