Artist Statement: "The main aspect of my work is the exploration of the personal and the collective unconscious through art. To gain a deeper understanding of this world I approach it through the realm of dreams; by creating figurative dreamscapes or abstract dream-carpets. My aim is to incorporate the ways of the unconscious into my art processes, to build up a parallel world. During the course of transformation a new visual language is generated, having properties of its own. This is analogous to alchemy where from the source material (material prima) the healing Philosopher’s stone is created. I believe that this artistic method mirrors the individuation process."
Additional Statement: “‘Midsummer Night’ is a representation of my current practice. The main aspect of my work is the exploration of the personal and the collective unconscious through art. I work with the principles of dream analysis, dealing with dreamscapes, and the multiple layers of the human unconscious to capture the unknown. My aim is to incorporate the ways of the unconscious into my art processes; to build up a parallel world. I believe that this artistic method mirrors the individuation process, meaning that we all want to become more individual and at the same time more generally human.”Artwork Details
