ARTIST STATEMENT

I am interested in the system of painting. Painting is color on square in a space. I enlarge these items and I try to move them up. I started with exploring different techniques of painting and became further more interested in the construction of a picture and the surrounding of painting. This means the studio, the museum and the gallery spaces. So after all I deconstructed the picture with taking down the canvas and had a visible space behind. I had the frame as an object and a " picture " framed and the question what a picture is, how the space behind is construced. I destroyed the frame as well step by step always asking is this a picture, whats the awarness, is it complete  and whats with the space when I change the elements of space as well and what is the influence from all of that means for a picture in a space. As I deconstructed the picture I decided to make no classical artworks anymore, because without canvas no painting, i decide to build cardboard models, to draw, to photograph and to translate questions to space, awarness time and mobility to the space in a simple way. I reuse the materials after see whatever I want to see and after a photographic documentation, which is also no artwork. My aim is also to simplyfy artworks that everyone can understand it. I also want that people participate on my work and touch it and I show my failures as well.

Now I am working on enlargement of space, and I build a hole for it. For this I painted my space black. I am also interested in constructing artworks which are playing with awareness and fulfill an object in mind like Watzlawik communication rules. And I like to construct spaces which start with the personal abilities of looking and mobility and time. Because spaces awareness is changing when we are moving or not. I am also working in creating  color objects. This means to use the color itself as an object. For this i will harden oil color and put it into the space. So the space becomes an installation. The installation transforms into painting.
