My works are abstract. They are sometimes vaguely, sometimes more clearly reminiscent of architecture and urban landscapes. The focus is always on space and perspective, surface and colour. The compositions evolve during the working process and are not determined in advance. The picture is "built" layer by layer. Underpaintings remain consciously visible through flashes of colour, glazes and "seams".
I look for the tilting moments in which the colour surfaces become three-dimensional bodies before the eye, something familiar emerges, becomes a figuratively perceptible form - and then disappears again.
The pictures deliberately have no clear, "correct" perspective. The surfaces are supposedly in a spatial context and yet they are not. They seem to fit together seamlessly to form architectural shapes and then fall apart again. What remains are surfaces, angles, gaps, overlays.
I am interested in the point at which the images begin to develop their own reality, at which a kind of parallel world emerges that appears artificial, strange and yet familiar.
