Artist Statement
It's a whimsical and light-hearted glimpse through life's telescope. The destructed mind is asked to return to the more innocent times. Handling certain subject matters in a delicate naïve way helps to take the edge off of the everyday life. Nostalgically sentimental references create an energy and spirituality. Unexpected encounters deserve a toast. Exploration conjures up those little beings in the brain that make your mouth water and your eyes widen. The feeling of excitement for tomorrow but living for today is comprised in the squares of narrative relationships.
