Do you have a person in mind when you render, outline your sitters, or what or who does the depicted figure represent, for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


I have no one in particular in mind, but struggle to break open the seemingly two-dimensional canvas, to find and catch a spatial entity from this borderless space. Somehow when beginning a new painting session, I look forward to meeting an unknown sitter and returning with the essence of this person in a distilled form on the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of brushstrokes adding paint, the image emerges from the fingers now removing the paint, as if the canvas had been a foggy mirror. A portrait materializes consisting of one unrestrained drawn line representing both longitudes and latitudes simultaneously. Circular orbits appear in the wet paint, and expose the surface of a face, like a distant planet scanned by an interstellar probe. A portrait emerges without specific characteristics and remains open and transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Circular orbits appear in the wet paint, highlighting a path through a celestial space. The course of movements portrays a person that stands out as if it had been scanned by an interstellar probe revolving around a cosmic entity”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my work, I strive to dissolve the boundaries between sculpture, drawing, and painting. A new territory emerges, where boundaries are erased. I struggle to break open the seemingly two-dimensional canvas, to find and catch a spatial entity from this borderless space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
