Artist Statement
My work centers on the experimental blending of digital imaging techniques, screen printing, and painterly gestures—a process-oriented approach that views the image as an open space of possibilities.
In my artistic practice, I combine these elements to create hybrid visual spaces in which planning and spontaneity come into play in equal measure.
In image-editing programs, I create the digital foundations of my paintings in a sketchy manner—using abstract structures, fragmented plant elements, and architectural motifs—by layering, shifting, and superimposing image planes, which are then transferred to the canvas using a variety of stencils.
For me, screen printing is a continuation of the experimental process of image creation in the analog realm. It serves not only as a means of execution, but also as an active source of inspiration. I deliberately make use of possibilities such as dried-up ink in the screen to allow the unexpected and the random to happen. With each printed layer, I respond to the one before it. Through repetition, layering, and painterly gestures, a visual language emerges in which scenes are suggested rather than explicitly depicted.
My work deliberately navigates the space between abstraction and recognizability, between digital aesthetics and analog presence.
