DRAWING STUDIES AFTER JENNY SAVILLE, PENCIL ON PAPER, 2021
Drawing and painting are some of the oldest art forms of our species. I always felt drawn to beautiful, intricately executed paintings, especially figurative paintings. In my practice I focus on the female face and body, trying to portray the essence of female existence.

Mannequins represent the uncanny valley like nothing else. for an installation dealing with the topics of sexual violence I played with their allocation somewhere between life and death to create an eerie yet mesmerizing art work (2021).

AI ART
EXPERIMENTS WITH MIDJOURNEY
Ever since midjourney was launched I HAVE A DEEP FASCINATION FOR this program and how it can create images based on a few words. I like using the program in an experimental, inspirational field bordering the uncanny that inhibits AI.
Epoxy resin
Epoxy resin is the latest medium I discovered for my artistic expression. It is like no other material: once hardened it keeps anything inside its see-through body, stopping the natural course of decay and aging.
