The artist about his work:

“My artworks transport my thoughts and emotions. A mix of acrylic and structure, pigments and collage, alcohol ink and metal leaf, everything is decided spontaneously in the painting process. A lot is left to chance, rediscovered, sorted or revised. Mixing the different shades, light, Shadows and plasticity are other focal points. I'm always both looking for opportunities, to add depth to my image, to reach the viewer on his emotional level. Experimentation is the priority, not necessarily the finished image. I let my creativity flow freely and focus entirely on myself. Trusting my own intuition, I follow the river. Allowing feelings and coincidences is crucial for me. I love developing a fluid work dynamic, to turn off my head and let myself be left to spontaneous intuition. The observation of it, what gradually emerges in the picture, then mostly becomes my important guide. The viewer is invited to embark on a journey of discovery, to dive into the complexity of my pictures and to perceive the world through my eyes. My goal is to touch the viewer and fill him with questions, reflected in my paintings, to inspire”.
