In the past few years I have had the feeling that my paintings take place in the
same location.
That place might be an imaginary region, one that stretches over several
areas to which I go back, painting them over and over again. In these areas I
explore altering situations: an occurrence or changes in the landscape, something
hitting something else. As a result of this encounter something ends, begins or
changes. An unknown being, whose size is also unknown, brings forth the end
or the beginning of things.
At times, my distance from where the event takes place shifts, and sometimes
it is as though I hold camera and I zoom in and zoom out, moving the gaze
closer and further away, or alter the angle of the photograph.
I observe this landscape through filters. They change from painting to
painting, and even in the course of one painting. Each painting can have several
filters, each of them changes the way I approach the work, and vice versa – the
manner of painting and the work create new filters.
The images are taken from particularly everywhere: my home, places I grew
up in, places I’ve been to, the computer, television and my imagination. I fuse
them into an idea that shifts and crushes, get painted and erased on the canvas,
until at some point I feel that is enough.
