To doubt professionaly

The projects vary widely in subjects and ways of experimenting (no niche is worth a lifetime).

Paintings, sculptures, writing, and installations are being forged out of thoughts and emotions concerning things I love or (more often) dislike.

My shared imaginations are not “above” reality like those of the surrealists. If anything… they are underneath it.

Recurring themes:

loving something at the cost of something else
the nagging feeling of being a hypocrite
the beauty of it all (“nature”, whatever that means)
