In my practice, I have been pursuing a transitive space, an open space where possible connections are being made. Currently, I am focussing on researching a possible shift of positions regarding the abstract and figuration, the sign and its meaning and thought, and the visible explanation thereof. For me, these shifts represent a political situation (perhaps yet to be defined as a transitive space). I think it is important to be ‘internet aware’ and try to raise questions about how our lives are historically interpreted and caught in a preconceived web of meanings and signifiers, often referred to as an event. Although painting has my main interest, with the exhibitions I make, I look for a wider landscape than painting as medium normally dictates. Through an attitude of guilelessness in the handling of material I scan the alternations of expression, not so much looking for the ‘pure’ but for the reality of the image.
