Artist statement
I create large-scale paintings, installations, and works on paper that investigate color, spatial rhythm, and the emotional resonance of light. My process often begins with a physical space – as it did with PRISMA, where the architecture of Hebel_121 became both a container and collaborator. I started by analyzing the floor plan to understand the scale and how natural light might radiate through the windows and into the street.
Color is my driving force. I’m captivated by its ability to shift perception, anchor memory, and create a sense of presence. My materials – acrylic gouache, cotton rag paper, painted canvas, and silkscreen inks – serve as conduits for this exploration. I don’t try to suggest light or mood; I build it, saturate it, and let it spill into the viewer’s space, also as “thinking space”, offering visitors a direct connection to the playfulness of the creative process.
Finally, PRISMA debuts a limited edition of silkscreen prints in muted teal, earthy red, and fluorescent pink – colors chosen for how they change with light and temperature. Repeated motifs and lyrical lines echo earlier works, while hinting at new directions still to come.
