"I am very much interested in existentialism, impressionism, cubism and most of the other isms. When creating artwork, I am not thinking about style but rather what I want to achieve. I am very much interested in 'how things work' and I investigate this in some aspects of form, shape, light, colour and material.
I find that there is more in essence of the things than in their appearance."
