I am Seiltänzer, dingling dangling on the rope, looking back while moving forward, inside the existing, between here and there.

I’m listening to a deep instinct within myself to create and deconstruct and to use my existence as trial and failure. Such is my daily attempt, giving birth to images out of complex situations, that at the end invite to contemplate, reflect and discover, to hear more than to see. I use gesture, mark, material, color, found object as human traces which relates to mysticism, social relationships, melancholic spaces and individual/collective existences. I want to stimulate the conceiving, not only to think and feel the subject matter, but to get an insight and overview into the process of diving deep down through the colour into the human essence while creating a dialogue between the existing chaos and new order, the existing order and new chaos.

The atelier is cave and womb, the canvas is wall, the paint is earth, the brush is tool. I'm here at this moment of time, passing by, solitary as the painter has to be, living for what I'm leaving, mindful of my traces that follow me from the past, while I stand in front of bright signs that stand in heaven’s purple sky. Like an elegy full of desire for connection, I carry the will to leave the room where my spinning wheel threads my infinite thoughts into fabric. I might want to walk on uncertain ground, on undefined matter, on ground that is free of traces, where not only paintings carry new values and ideas, but myself and all of us. 

Reading from the traces on earth, writing on the gift of trees, looking up into the foggy sky, questing the images in clouds. My body and brain grow slow, my soul is with no rest.
