The artist writes: "My work is about time, it’s passing, the fleetingness of a moment and the impact memory has on us as humans. I am interested in finding a visual language for dealing with the loss of the present at any given moment, how memories are stored away in our consciousness, how we remember certain moments and why. I once read that melancholy is ‚the feeling of loss of the present‘ and found that to be a beautiful paraphrase so I am exploring those feelings in my paintings."
