At the center of my work is the question of how perception is shaped over time.

In an age of accelerated image production and unambiguous attribution, I create images that resist quick reading. The figure serves as my point of departure in order to make perception visible as an unstable, time-dependent process.

 

Through layering, superimposition, and the deliberate dissolution of contours, pictorial spaces emerge in which presence and dissolution are simultaneously at work. Figuration is not asserted but questioned—as a state between memory, projection, and the present moment.

 

My choice of slow, material-intensive techniques such as tempera, chalk ground, and transparent wax layers is an integral part of this approach. Time is not concealed but made visible as a formative factor.

 

Sculpture and artist’s books extend these questions spatially and haptically. Across all media, experiential spaces emerge that do not direct perception but unsettle and open it.

 

My work does not seek clarity or definitiveness, but rather a multilayered, resistant form of seeing.
