Statement
Light and shade are the characteristics that make objects three-dimensional; through them we define our surroundings. That it is possible to recreate these characteristics through paint or a projection is what I am very interested in. The material I use to make my work can be anything, but always consists of a layer of light and shade over a surface. By changing our perception of reality, I'm questioning it. I apply layers of light and shadow to photographs, or directly to the wall within a space. By having an untouched base appear through my altering layer, I want to create an effect of self-evidence and credibility. Our environment as a backdrop is the subject I work with in a literal manner.
Q&A
What is the very first thing you do when you walk into your studio each day?
When I enter my studio and look at what I made the previous day, I begin to determine whether I'm satisfied with it and what my next step should be. I enjoy going to my studio early and having the feeling that anything can happen with my work that day. What is your drive for making art? (Is it a need? Does it help you think? Is it for yourself? Are you trying to tell someone else something? To whom?)
I make art to express my idea about reality. I regard our daily world as a kind of decor that is made by our senses; a veil over reality of sorts. The philosopher Kant compared the senses to spectacles with pink lenses, so that our perception is constantly colored. What lies behind this reality, the way things are, independent of our perception, remains an unsolvable question for humans. Although this is my realization, I enjoy the world around me. Awareness and beauty, I try to both visualize in my work. How to consume art?
Start by looking at it. Become engulfed by it. Laugh till you cry and live till you die. What function has (had) writing (the thesis) in your artistic process?
Writing helps me to articulate what my artworks are about and sharpens my ideas.
