ARTIST STATEMENT

Painter & Video-Artist

My forward-looking and exploratory paintings, art- and video-installations are strongly detail-oriented and triggered by the material itself. 
The work is raw, experimental and progressive and predominantly reflecting the restless, contemporary artist. The disruptive result is based on experiments and used materials, such as rusty metal, broken wood, minerals and industrial residues. 

The same approach is patent in my live-performance-paintings and video installations, such as Oktopus, presented in Berlin, Budapest and Jakarta, where I used the technology of the digital era.

My current aim is to create a very large size of paintings, using recovered materials and find a suitable exhibition space for the installation. The “artist’s presence” is vital and a live performance will be created for the opening.
