Artist Statement:
Though they may seem simple,
especially my drawings and
intaglio prints but also my
paintings are actually quite
elaborate; half a year's work
on an image is no exception
for me. I draw directly or use
small sketches, even doodles,
as image-generating nuclei,
often combining two or three
that appear to complement each
other. I rarely use concrete
references, but rather work
from inner visions. I tend to
be narrative in my own art,
perhaps poetic narrative. I
don't see my images as telling
a story but rather as
reflections of inner feelings,
similar to some poetry, and
would like observers to read
them as such. I like to
believe that my work carries a
certain mystery. My images are
very much "inside out.” I
have usually some idea of what
I want to obtain, but much of
the image is generated while I
draw or paint. The end product
always surprises me; I am
often amazed that there even
is an end product. Analyzing
my own art is difficult but I
think that the dreamlike
images tend to deal with
confined spaces which contain
certain characters that reach
out to one another but do not
