Creating new things, dreaming and thinking about creating has been my first love. Ever since I was a child I’ve loved handicrafts. I have learnt to appreciate the randomness and imperfection of handmade items. They show us the beauty of imperfection. I think it’s part of nature and makes art works truly come to live. What I try to find and to convey in my art is that we can see beauty in everything if we just pay attention. I love colors and my favorite materials are things that have their own story, like worn textiles, used/found cardboard and (vintage) paper. In my paintings I combine collaged pieces of these materials with paint. I like to stitch them together and use stamps and yarn in my work. I’m always experimenting to find new ways to express myself. And at the end, when the work is completed, i hope to find new surprises in my work, just like in my childhood.
