"The main theme of my work is to show people as figures detached from conscious thinking and actions. The figure is situated in a moment of pure being, lost in thought, unaffected and completely within their feeling. You probably know this: When you see someone lost in their thoughts and you become the observer of this intimate moment. You immerse yourself in this person's inner thoughts and are almost embarrassed to be part of it. I primarily show my figures in exactly moments like this. I want to capture the intensity of a fleeting moment or expression. This short moment, seemingly so unspectacular and often unnoticed, is so moving and intense, revealing for a brief moment the unfeigned, the inner, it provides a glimpse into the soul. The focus of my work is to capture this moment and turn our gaze inward, to represent the inner state figuratively. The stories around the figure are intended to support the expression.
