The art I make is dedicated to exploring my mental landscapes. I am on the quest to understand myself, experiences that shaped me, my own personal as well as collective history, and the world we live in. My process of creating reflects the relationship between construction and deconstruction, chaos and order, frustration and peace, soft and aggressive. I’m exploring past, traumatic events and how they transpire through our everyday lives. The questions raised often refer to integration and awareness of trauma, and how these events linger in our lives, even more so if we try to ignore them. The paintings I make are an invitation to embrace our tragedies and demons, and allow all of our parts to stand together equally in order to understand ourselves better.
