"Creating a painting to me is like creating a parallel reality with an infinite number of scenarios. Drawing from an additional arsenal of lives, like the kind of magic that the cinema has. It's not about reflecting the world - the stories playing out here follow no rules or restrictions. It is a peculiar logic of dreams, something non-verbal that we can't quite describe. In my paintings, I contrast contradictory forms of painting, different narratives. I mix, merge, and synthesise non-presentation elements with real ones. These are the rules of expression in which tensions between disparate values change the unambiguous interpretation of the means used. It is a provocation of the viewer to give themselves over to the power of the painting and to search for suspense".
