About the Artist

Statement

My artistic practice explores how perception can shift through colour, movement, light and perspective. I create paintings and visual spaces that invite the viewer to slow down, look again and question what they are seeing.

What intensifies this, is the use of UV light on paintings painted with fluorescent paint, spray paint, oils and acrylics. As the lighting changes, some colours intensify, details appear or disappear, and what feels like the background suddenly becomes the focus. This allows the work to exist in more than one visual state and makes the act of looking a meditative and active experience. Thus, I am interested in what happens when a painting does not offer a single, fixed perspective, but instead changes together with its surroundings and also its beholder.

My work addresses feminism, sexualisation, gender roles, identity and the behaviours we encounter in everyday life. Rather than simply illustrating these subjects, I use them as starting points to question established ways of thinking. The influence of queer and club culture is particularly important to me, as these spaces reflect a different way of living and challenge thought, identity and self-expression.

Ultimately, I create in order to communicate. I want to make people question society, themselves and the way they perceive the world around them.
