Mercury in scorpion Painting

In my pictures I have either used found photographs of people in particular situations or I have photographed the people myself. Then I translated these frozen moments into oil paintings. Because of the blurriness resulting from a broad brush stroke and the sharp lines set against it, these works are not photorealistic. Instead I allow new realities to emerge, which I interpret and thereby transform. People depersonalized convey an inner dialogue with themselves or with a counterpart. By focusing on the moment, pausing at a point of balanced tension, I want to create a state of suspense for the viewer, which provokes questions about the depicted situation. Images, fleeting and profane, seem to be still like a video. Through their atmosphere and in capturing this particular movement, they try to advance to the essence of this instant.
