What I paint, I want to paint. I have no desire to manifest or align myself with or against, with or for certain expressions of art. My work is usually described as abstract. For me, it is primarily about paint skin and the layering of paints over one another. I paint what cannot be touched. Eventually my images grow abstract by elaborating on them, by painting. You are working on a painting, whether it is abstract or figurative is not so important to me. I don't understand figuration and abstraction in art as a dichotomy. There is a certain unity in my work, a certain movement that reinforces one work toward another.
My painting works have a fixed surface, above and along which the paint runs, comes to a stop and then is absorbed again into the next canvas. This is also why I usually work on several paintings. One painting follows another. There is no chronological order. My oeuvre is like a snowball effect. One canvas sparks the next. “A never ending story. I dare to say that I am a contemporary, radical painter. This manifests itself in the constant change and complexity of forms and non-forms. My work is never finished. It is shown in its incompleteness. Hence the sense of infinity in my paintings.
