My work begins with a question.
Beauty and ugliness, humans and nature, life and death – for me, these are not opposites, but two sides of the same coin.
Whilst I was studying insects, I found myself repeatedly imagining strange scenarios involving them.
What if they were suddenly enormous? What if, instead of observing or catching them, we could ride on their backs?
This work emerged from that imagination. For a moment, the scale shifts, and humans and insects encounter one another in a different way.

I work intuitively – often faster than I can think. A colour, a line, a material – and suddenly the work takes a direction I hadn’t planned. That’s exactly when it gets interesting.
My drawings and paintings are full of bodies, faces, creatures – often all at once.
That’s me. Different versions of myself: the gentle one, the violent one, the absurd one. I’m interested in where the boundaries between human and nature, between beautiful and ugly, between life and death actually lie – and whether they really exist. I tend not to think so. Beauty and ugliness, light and dark, joy and pain – for me, these aren’t opposites, but two sides of the same coin. In my work, I don’t try to separate them – but to make them visible together.
If someone looks at my work and thinks, ‘What on earth is that?’ – then I’ve got it right. I enjoy working most when I find myself having to laugh a little at what I’ve just created. Strange, but somehow beautiful – that’s what I want to create.
