Artist  Statement
I always try to bring out an idea or a concept with my works. In my opinion if a work of art can bring up something that you don’t usually think about you will get a new experience and maybe reflect upon what you have seen.

The strength with the way I work might be that my works are visually interesting; my main focus when it comes to the actual making of a work is the aesthetics of it but nonetheless how much potential it has. I never make something without thinking of its potential.

I think I have faced problems that most artists face. I can honestly say that I am never content with what I do because before I finish something I already have a new idea that is going to be much better. So it’s a never-ending process that takes a lot of work. But at the same time the difficulty of it is what makes it interesting at the end of the day.

I have tried to combine a lot of aspects and medias in solving weaknesses with my art, if for example I make a painting that I don’t find particularly good, I might make a digital version of it and try to combine them in some way. Its all about thinking ahead.

Media, books, architecture, nature, design have all influenced me. In many ways I’m a slave to what I see around me and my art is a projection of that. I have studied different techniques and styles in art which has given me a broad knowledge in different art types.

My works are all to some extent an experiment with medias and techniques, not only to give them another dimension but also to find myself in my work.

To what extent and in what ways might the arts be regarded as a representation of reality?

To interpret all aspects of nature

Art is the means to interpret all aspects of nature, to capture an instant, the emotion of a face, the movement of the human form, the peacefulness of scenery, the joy of a flower.

Feelings and emotions all of the grandeur and majesty of Creation, transmitting the joy of life, interpretations of beauty, emotions and feelings, through colour, light and form.

The investigation and study of the aesthetical qualities of a work of art will allow us to understand exhaustively the processes of transformation and transfiguration of reality of a certain ideas developed by an artist.

The Revealing Power is the function of art, scripture, ritual and mediation

Art becomes a subject of knowledge, a phenomenon, or an idea because any artistic creation can not be considered separately, but should be thought of as a moment and a result of historical -artistic process in whose context we will be able to understand its full meaning. In this way the history of art itself becomes a way of researching and of viewing the world.

The Ancient Greek considered art as concept of imitation, purifying-or rather educationally role.

The Middle Ages emphasized the nature of the subordination of beauty to truth and justified art as an allegory.

The Renaissance considered art as imitation, and the principle of verisimilitude as its fundamental rule.

The modem aesthetics claimed that the autonomy of art is a form of pre-logical, intuitive knowledge, the creative faculty of which is imagination.
