- I am...
- primarily a painter, because I feel that painting is the best means for me to portray my emotions. For me, being an artist is not solely taking part in the act of creation, but it is a way of life. I feel that being an artist does not necessarily mean that I must limit myself to one thing, or one kind of art. However, it is knowing how to see life through artistic eyes in order to bring out my own unique expression, even if it means in the way that I talk and act with people.
- About my artwork
- The main concern in each of my art works, are the movements of the soul. Spirituality is the driving force to all my art. Whichever technique I use, it is still a reflection of me, however drawing and painting is what allows me to breathe - where line seems to be the source of all life and imagination. The beauty of art is that it interlinks reality with fantasy and this is why in most cases I usually tear parts of the paper or the canvas in order for the painting to form part of what lies beneath it - Life itself.
- Artists I like
- Egon Schiele, John Everett Millais, John Singer Sargent, Salvador Dalí, Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso, Hans Bellmer, Ron Mueck, Arthur Rackham, Daniel Merriam, Max Liebermann, Alphonse Mucha, Antoni Gaudi, Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, H.R.

- The centre of the artworld is
- nowhere and everywhere

The Dragonfly
A dead DRAGONFLY. Is this a sign? Am I alive? A dead dragonfly lies beside me. Only half alive. Ants crawl over it. Drinking its blue. It moves. Can it feel? Ants are making it move. Maybe they are allowing it to live, a little bit longer. The sun shines on its wings. Golden. Ironic. Blue and Gold. You know God, that dragonflies symbolize life for me. Dragonflies - life, Butterflies - love. You know ants are a symbol of death. A fast moving dark horse, flew across me like the way time flies. Wit… Continue

George Bataille performances here and new projects stuble over my doorstep, so I must admit:
- did not read your comment for a long time, -
but did just reread, because I wanted for a long time to answer after my questions to you. And guess what, the clown theme is in here as well,. Of course I did the mean demagoic clown some years ago, but now - even now, we want to do more clowns, and my latest reflexions on the theme was: Society is were the clowns are, everybody out there is a clown, because we are not allowed to be anything else but clowns out there. The individual has to be a clown in a society as ours, with all that concensus floating and flying around controlling every thougt and movement. Keeping eyes on the perverse, the criminal, the law breaker, the strange.... Well I think you already got my point there. The clown (not the circus clown) can be seen as the man going mad, that is our next dramtic project, the mad man has to be a real clown in society... Yes, - to much laughing is crying!
Did you by any chance upload the clown project with other people? It is a very good project. Leaves me with further ideas - to let the public or audiences dress as clowns in certain scene of a performance. I'm working with a "clown" this autum in a wild crazy duo where we involve the audiences... Let me see this incredible fascinating work of yours. When you know you are already a clown, how would you react to the question of beeing confronted with that you should dress like a clown... (it is great and confrontative!!!).
All the best
