2022

I don’t really create anything new. I reuse, reinvent existing images. In doing so I immerse myself in the ceaseless flow of continuous creation – repurposing, appropriating, recreating.

I link heterogeneous objects to create a new harmony. My work oscillates between drawing and sculpture. I try to build a narrative that mixes my personal and autobiographical experience with subjects from the chaotic world around me. My creations are allegories, an at times barely perceptible allusion to one or more subjects of society. The title of the work leads viewers to a subject. They are then confronted with several possible narratives and are thus left in a state of uncertainty and ambiguity.
