The starting point for my work is an abstract expressionist method of spontaneous and intuitive painting, which I combine with slow, precise and detailed drawing.
The slow drawing, combined with the expressive and fast way of painting, brings a contrarian essence to the works. A temporal experience takes place in the paintings due to these polarized methods of execution, as the comic-like drawing creates tension with our traditional perception of fine art. Such juxtapositions are the focal points in my works.
My painting is a sum of coincidence and clumsy control. After the painting process, when the canvas is dry, I let my mind combine different schemes with each other, but without organizing assumed forms. Such organization occurs through drawing, which works as a tool for disclosing these forms. I continue this pattern over multiple layers to create an even stronger effect.
The pictures drawn reveal mutations of my pictorial mind map, mixing imagination, manners and subconscious.
