Statement
My artistic production wanders in many different directions through a variety of media, and presents a consistent whole in spite, rather than because of me. My work reflects certain obsessions and a certain way to look at things that I would not have chosen to display in public otherwise. I mainly do not intend to consciously state anything on a rational level with my art production or, at least, I do not intend this statement to be unique and single-minded. Above all, I want my work to have an emotional impact. I can only hope for it to resonate with the spectator's personal experiences, and give way to their own interpretation.
