About me

Picture
Basically, I paint because I want to find my power and be able to express it. I want to rape a squeaky-clean surface by covering it with layer upon layer of lines and colour –to transform it into something that expresses ferocity, violence, and spontaneous euphoria.
It takes guts to handle raw, primitive energy and naive bluntness and I want to show it. Consciously putting myself in a trance-like state, I become a warrior, attacking the paper, working on it with pens, crayons, and colours as my weapons.
In this process I become like a little child mesmerised by a face, focusing on the two eyes and the mouth –which could also just as easily be two breasts and a navel. This is the basic landscape through which I march towards new battles. I drill, excavate, dig down to find the many layers of my personality, from the tiny baby on to the crazy clown, the schizo and, maybe, to ’He Who Knows’.
Objectively, I hope my pictures arouse in observers the feelings I want to convey : those of lust and sheer joy of living combined with hints of tragedy and sadness.
