My work begins with a question.
Beauty and ugliness, humanity and nature, life and death – for me, these are not opposites, but two sides of the same coin.
I enjoy observing people. But I rarely see them simply as they are.
As I look, something else begins to take shape in my mind: faces tilt, shapes shift, and suddenly a person becomes a strange figure.
Perhaps it is precisely this moment that I like – when something strange, comical and slightly absurd emerges, and yet you can’t help but smile a little.

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.
