statement
My works at first glance seem rather heterogenious since they come in different materials and techniques. Looking closer though, you may discover that they all have a painterly vision and an investigation of the illusionarypainterly space in common. They are mostly triggered by some found misapprehension and question the themes of origin and originality, identity and congruence. Although in form they range from painting, drawing, sculpture and fotography up to site-specific and space filling installation, I would consider them all as paintings.
