Small perceptions of the everyday will merge with reflections on looking, painting and image making: the motif of my works is equally painting itself, its history, the paint as a physical substance, the tableau as an object.
There are no photographs on the walls in my studio. . . I prefer to employ observation and deduction.
Painting and picture often imitate each other.
I look at people, at the world and at its representations in pictures, painted and otherwise. My paintings are constructions of lines, colors and proportions. The way I paint is predetermined in the sketch, the plan. But my images are not new. I did not really invent them. It is as if they were already there.
