Artist Statement:
My work reflects my
preoccupations with current
events: war, militarism, and
people’s struggles against
impossible odds.
My photographs are usually at
the base of my creative
process. These images are
printed on paper and glued
onto the canvas. Graffiti from
New York, architecture from
Germany or Pakistan, headless
mannequins from the streets of
Paris are collaged together.
Out of this visual cacophony,
I create a harmonious whole,
an abstract urban landscape
around which I develop my
narrative. It is like a
puzzle. I use acrylic paint
and sometimes magic markers. I
proceed through trial and
error and constantly build and
destroy. In recent years,
graffiti have become a major
source of inspiration.
The use of drawings and
cartoon-like characters as
well as bright, energetic
colors enables me to inject
humor and visual appeal into
serious discussions about war
and violence.
