Biography
I like to work longer on my paintings, layering paints and materials, at some point, a stage of work, scraping them off the canvas and re-modelling the colorful image, leaving traces of the previous states of the painting. For me, painting is a depth, a density, an experience and a meeting of an author and a viewer there somewhere in the painting. In the picture, I'm less interested in the plot and more of a conditional composition that allows for experimentation. I love the interior, old objects, sewing machines and lamps - a memory of the bygone era; imaginative sights and places I want to be, female images in a moment of reflection or rest .... For me, painting is a state, a story of experience.
