- All paintings are 180 grams A4 inkjet paper sheets, hand painted on with drawing ink, bistre and graphite.
- The painted area of the sheets are covered with a thin layer of alkyd coating varnish.
- The paper part of the sheet is seperated from and washed off the plastic layer.
- The back of the plastic sheet is painted with white ink. Parts opaque, parts transparent and parts left untouched.
- Elements of the sheet are selected, cut and mounted on wooden panel with bookbinder’s glue.
Techniques:
“My technique is not one I at one time ‘made up’. I tried thousands of things and combine the ones that work for me. It is not an isolated technique. It took me 8 years to get to the tecnical point where I am now and it is still very much evolving and will probably be completely different again in a couple of years. The particular ink, paper, brushes, water, varnish, laquers, glue and panels I use happen to work for me for now and are useful only to me.
It’s just ink and paper. It’s no magic ink. Or magic paper. I have been obsessed by my technique -and especially the lack of it an the gaps in it- for years, but only because it withheld me from telling my story and I found myself lost in translation. I try and find and stay true to my own language in imagery, as in my opinon it all comes from gesture -being the aesthetic of the brushstrokes and their emotional impact- your imagination and trying to stay true to yourself. When images come from deep within, regardless the source of inspiration, they’re sincere and genuine. And nothing can beat that.”
