ARTIST STATEMENT

At the focus of my interest is the research and discovery of the border between the imaginary and the real within painting. My intuition is decisive in my paintings, which is driven by my love of working with the materials of painting. My pictures are a mixture of rule-following and playful intuition, with which I try to depict imaginary worlds. My paintings are small pieces of a mysterious space. This space is as infinite as the imagination: an infinite space where reality and the imaginary mix. For me, this space is actually the "dimension of the mind", an infinite area halfway between reality and imagination: a kind of borderland. We see a frozen, motionless world on the two-dimensional surface of the painting, which appear on the border as small pieces of a utopian infinite space, like a kind of still life. But then, stepping deeper in your mind to the other side of the border, entering this utopia, the dimension of imagination: this motionless sight comes to life, becomes a story and the space expands.

I am concerned with basic collective feelings that have always been present in the human mind, in art, or in the magic of prehistoric man. The things that interest me the most are collective thoughts and feelings that occupied also the prehistoric man: I am interested in questions of the soul. Basic deep feelings like our fears or our longings. Fear of loneliness, of passing away or of losing someone very important. Longing for the past for our previous experiences in order to correct something there. I try to deal with the issues, thoughts, emotions, memories, doubts, and fears that determine the collective consciousness of humanity. I am interested in how all of this develops in a world permeated with artificial intelligence or in the "soul" of the computer. I explore topics such as artificial intelligence, the relationship between nature and technology, the overlap between online and offline space, and I am interested in questions about the role and place of humans in all these relationships. I look for poetry and mystery in all these themes and try to transfer these inspirations into my works.
