Society is a shared reality that people construct as they interact with one another. Our interaction, group dynamics, desires and expectations are the pieces of the puzzle of how we shape our surroundings. Social media, politicians, convictions. My paintings are based on being human within society today and visualize my questions about what this might mean to me. Looking at mankind, interpreting parallel realities and technical inventions. I’m inspired by street-art, literature, philosophy and sociology. As technique I use pencil and oil paint on canvas. For more info click here.

HAPPENING NOW:

Women house @ndsm fuse / 16 may-19 July / Thursday-Sunday / 12.00-18.00

The starting point of my work is observing people, capturing their image and create compositions reflecting society. A large part of this process takes place on the street. Observing the beauty of reality, not escaping into an illusion or fantasy. New techniques and materials have introduced me to working with shadows and light/ invisibility and visibility / negative space revealing people / people disappearing into folds.
