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.

Installation

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.
