I am interested in human experiences. Razor-edged fears, flying fantasies, the most horrible experiences, the highest joys, and the deepest beliefs that are hidden in the depths of the human soul. My artwork serves as a gateway to a world of narratives. Figures that repeat from work to work give the viewer an opportunity to identify with the characters or to find something human and tangible in the unpleasant images. However, the images used are not linear stories following a single narrative. They can be taken as signs through which everyone can compose their vision.
My works are full of details, inviting you to look longer, to find new nuances and angles of possibilities, and to see the already familiar with a new eye. Let yourself be transported to a fantasy world or recall something experienced, lived through, or already seen. The works are closely intertwined with symbols inspired by different mythologies, religions, and cultural spaces, giving impulse to a vast expanse of contemplation and the joy of discovery and recognition.
My main way of expression is linocuts. Linoleum is a material that is at once soft and melts under a knife as butter, but at the same time ruthlessly exacting and unforgiving. When doing my work, I must therefore always be 100% present, and focused, turning off the bustle and noise of the rest of the world.
As an artist, I can describe my journey to these visual compositions, but the perspectives of observers are not only valued but warmly embraced. I often get inspiration for subsequent works from how people have interpreted my works or what stories they have found within themselves through them. My goal is never to set meanings in stone or to tell a certain story. The goal is to be like an extension, a visual springboard to activate the viewers' own inner world reflections. Every once in a while, I find and invent new meanings for my works, depending on my mood and the emotion of the moment.
