I look at the beauty of body language, motion and interactions between people. It’s within the body language, the motion and interaction, that a part of life takes place that I find interesting. When I look closely body language reveals intimate stories, personality, desires, expectations, belonging, doubt. When I take a wider look I see that people organize themselves in patterns, some like to keep distance, others like standing in a group, yet others prefer a little distance within a group. I like this dynamic, this part of humanity. My paintings are about seeing, understanding and combining people in such a storytelling structure. I place individuals with a compositional rhythm in a narrative reflecting my observations of human beauty, hidden emotions and groupdynamics. I analyze the dynamics and reduce the complexity to a rhythmical simplicity.

Street-art/graffiti gives me the opportunity to have a direct interaction and exchange with people on the street about my question of identity and belonging. I come from a background in sculpture, photography and film. For more info click here.
