The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it. ~Francis Bacon
My artwork questions common perception of everyday life. Everybody keeps images of persons, feelings or situations from the past, which blur their vision. These disturbing images influence our reactions and behaviors in certain situations, they impact our perception of things happening around. We are all products of our past, our culture, the context, which condition our ability to understand. There is no one absolute truth, but as many truths as there are perceptions.
As a painter I always look for concrete pictorial aspects. My artwork is based on overlapping layers (whatever these are). This helps me to raise viewer’s awareness, sometimes through an indirect illusion, sometimes directly proving that there is much more hidden behind the visible. Exposing perception mechanisms and questioning images, I make the audience aware of their own perception by means of the phenomenon itself.
