Interior view of artworks in my studio Installation

My work is twofold: Firstly, it consists in the production of Ideograms, digital paintings I work on my tablet or my sketch book, always at hand. I take pictures, I edit, I draw, I overlap images, I search for new significations and associations. Secondly, in my painting studio, I paint from this digital material, the painting process takes over, sometimes I stay close to my initial visual idea, sometimes I explore further, freely, until it feels right. I let intuition guide me to where the painting wants to go. It is a journey of discovery after all. The motivation behind my daily practice of painting. There is a back and forth between digital image and physical painting. From sleek computer screen to rough surfaced, drippy, gooey painting. Details from my paintings and drawings I scan and photograph and so they reintegrate my digital work process. I find that my subject matter and my interests are the result of my own life experience: that of a cultural migrant where old world symbolism and mythology met pop art and science-fiction. I work with my capacity to remember, working with my selective memory; my long term / short term memory. This and the fantastic source of imagery that is internet provide the source material that I draw my inspiration from.
