I wonder that too. Not following the talk of teachers and wondering off with mind probably helped. My very good teacher in my art studies was Eva Schlegel. She is an inspiring person and a great artist.

I describe imperfection through the way of perfection.

I could not say one or the other, but geometric fictionalist would probably be one option.

I want to free myself from pain. That is one thing I can think of immediately. The more general answer is: I search for ways out, for free forms, for freedom in forms, for the coexistence of the expected and the unexpected. My main interest lies in the description of Existence, and that is the Existence of opposite or paradoxical forms (forces) in one.

You know, honestly, I cannot tell what others feel or think.

First, it was a simple experiment to make something like abstract painting accessible in a literal way. Then I wanted to learn some things about space.

I actually do mostly painting. Or taping. I think a lot about relations between people – how they stand in a room, how they stand against or next to or together with another. Or as opposites – what one is, what a lonely form is, what a group or collective is. What happens when forms connect, when they start to disintegrate, to disappear? How we, as single forms, as we always are, experience isolation? An isolated figure can be sad but also powerful. A group of forms can be a texture. Isolated forms can be part of a collective.

Beauty, irritation, becoming a part of it, understanding it the wrong way, etc.

It is the line where it all starts, but it is also the fun, the joke, and the reduction. Comics are abstractions in many ways.

Everything inspires me, I hardly search for it. My head is often so full that I worry it may explode. Life experiences influence me the most.

I do. Only recently I started that. For instance, a runway for Iris van Herpen’s fashion show, and I also collaborated for skiwear with Eider/France. I’m tempted to wear prints, but I’m worried to be too camouflaged in front of my work. Who could find me then?

Until May 13, you can visit my work at the exhibition Nove viaggi nel tempo at Palazzo Reale in Milan. Go see it!
