Artist Statement

I make art out of a desire to see things differently. Familiar shapes and colors can combine in unexpected ways. The everyday world suddenly becomes mysterious again. My paintings are therefore invitations to experience a gestalt switch, not just visually, but also conceptually. I mean this in the sense of a paradigm shift, such as understanding multiple sides of an issue, or gaining a new perspective on things. This is why I believe art can motivate life, and help us find meaning in it.
