Artist Statement:
Generally, I juxtapose acrylic paint mixed with textiles and papers collies on the canvas cumulatively organise the pictorial space. This gradually determines the course of the painting, but not in a methodical way.
I have always been fascinated by the way in which micro-organisms, the most insignificant creatures, evolve, by how they mutate and transform themselves. That which is almost invisible to humans ends up being perceptible, constituting an impressive spectacle.
In these paintings I am working with those ideas of perception and transformation.
