Artist Statement

In my work, my purpose is to break away from the stringent order of society, to unleash tensions and to bring about a vivid confrontation with the issues of “form” and colors”. Playing with “Contradictions” is the name of the game. In simple terms, art is clearly the creation of contradictions which must be compensated for; art is a blend of contradiction and order. The most crucial point form is to reach the strongest possible effect with simple forms and materials. My works are the instrument with which I manage to break through conventional perceptions. With a regular rhythm of related shapes, linear compositions appear which then form compositions. The transformed form, as emphasized by flashy colors, is thus trusted by a new, self-propelled dynamic. Those watching my works have the possibility of going out on a discovery trip and thus decoding the concealed symbols and geometric signs in their own manner. Forms and signs become a language of their own and are often composed of hieroglyphs and sign elements from past cultures.
