The starting point of the work was to bring together different energies translated into colours and flat surfaces, with a spatial experience. In a period of contemplating on where I stand in life, the work shifted to a more experimental backwards working method, not knowing what the result would be. I mixed pigments with resin and placed them on a working table. The front of the surface was always facing downward, and until the materials were dried up I didn’t know what to expect, making the outcome always a surprise. In the midst of a world that seems to be on fire, this way of working provided me comfort, structure and stability.

In a way these works are not about understanding what they mean, if they mean anything, but more about accepting the way they are and let it be. Like something that is there, right in front of you, but you can’t grab or hold on to it.
