"I tell fairytales with oil paintings. I work with a figurative imagery based on geometric forms. The fairytales are true to tradition formulated through a symbolic language, mirroring my own development as a human being. The intention of my work is to create a brighter and better space to rest in a somewhat dark and chaotic world. It’s an attempt of building bridges between the primitive and the civilized, between nature and industrialization, between fairytales and rational thought. The intention is also reflected in the formalist narrative of the paintings, because I place the canvases in a grid formation as a puzzle. This representation symbolizes a window or a screen between inside and outside – dream and reality. I focus on being human as part of nature – and nature as part of being human. The paintings are imprints of my own experiences as a woman living in a world filled with contradictions".
