Artist Statement

My works are to be seen as a creative exploration of internal worlds. The points of intersection between these internal and external worlds give rise to symbols of a magic, sacred character, ciphers that allow the viewer to sense and feel more than is actually expressed. They are archaic and yet timeless.
Traces of symbols are created from the application of layers of pigment. The colours have an atmospheric quality that allows one´s gaze to relax, as if looking far into the distance.
An important feature is the smooth movement of colour sounds, shapes and bodies on the flat surface to create the three-dimensional illusion.
