My energy as a painter stems from current events, literature, travel, cultural phenomena, from the observed and the imagined. I am not a storyteller; my main concern is painting. I am interested not in conveying a linear narrative, but perhaps its shadow, a gesture of representation. My paintings lie somewhere between the familiar and strikingly other. I do not believe paintings should have a fixed meaning; they should reflect the flux of being in this world. I am interested in the discomfort, incoherence, and, most of all, the absurdity that can characterize the painterly experience- and experience in general.
Stories of Jorge Luis Borges and novels of WG Sebald are parallel correlations of my work; the fantastical writings omit or disfigure facts and indulge in various contradictions in order to perceive an atrocious or banal reality. A mischievous sense of humor resonates in their work, perhaps because their stories are constructed with such minute detail and alluring prose while the maze-like plot is often a disobedient existence.
