The paintings are usually built up by a number of painting layers, allowing the viewer to visually walk in and out of them. The marks that shape up the images look as if they are drawn rather than painted, creating a somehow unfocused visual journey through the picture. Light is of great significance in the work as it often acts as a way in or an exit point out of that journey. Colours are very particular, describing beauty that borders with decadence, grandeur that verges into repulsion. By an intersection of the everyday and the theatrical, I try to position the viewer into places of wonder and sometimes anxiety. I aspire to find hidden, otherworldy beauty through using the familiar.
