I am a painter, but I get bored of doing the same painting over and over again, which is why I play with my painting. I often move between genres, with each painting a potential starting point for a new series, making the link between my works more rhizomatic. While I paint, I play “Exquisite Corps” (a collaborative drawing approach first used by surrealist artists to create bizarre and intuitive drawings) alone, although that is clearly impossible. Since I usually don’t use photographs, which I consider to be too easy, the figures in my works emerge from the process of painting. When I find a figure in the color fields, I bring it out, conceal it, or both. Given current circumstances, the black humor in the paintings emerges in retrospect as prophetic, but nevertheless amusing.
