"I am inspired by the digital world's aesthetic - how computer applications have allowed me to transform and manipulate my initial drawings. My latest paintings are the expression of my extravagant and excessive self, which are profoundly hiding behind my discreet and restrained façade. They are revealing my camp alter-ego who is longing to manifest itself. I feast on designing complex arrangements of formal elements. I am seeking a harmonious visual experience within disorder. I like to orchestrate interactions between contraries while investigating balance and unity. I find pleasure in excess and vibrant chaos.

I initially address my work from a formalist approach by directing my concerns towards composition, pattern, structure, space, and the interactions of colors. The succession of layers in my paintings is meticulously planned; each meant to complement, enhance, or discredit each other deliberately. I use digital tools to solve compositional dilemmas while they culminate in tactile human intervention. I entertain a fetishist relationship with oil-paint and its materiality. Abusing the surface by charging up blobs of paint and luscious brushstrokes onto the canvas creates a sense of joy which I find stimulating.

I am motivated by bright colors, bold shapes, and playful compositions. I spend a lot of time drawing and sketching on my tablet. I make choices based on what feels exciting to me. As a result, I am free to create a new leap of faith with each mark, embrace my intuition and enjoy the work with wonder."
