Title thesis:

Tiles

(living the good life)

A flower or plant, pelican or cream cake can motivate a painting. Anything can be a reason to paint. So I paint everything.

A painting encapsulates its own space, its own universe. I want my paintings to exist in their own worlds while touching ours. Through recognisable associative elements, and the researching of space in the painting, I want to create tension between both worlds. Every painting creates its own set of rules resulting in a unique individual focus that forces me to research painting itself.

Each individual work demands something different from me. The treatment of the paint, the use of color, the composition, all these factors combined generate their own context within each painting.
