I want to break every single rule. My creative process explores illustrative practices while trying to distance itself as much as necessary from what illustration is traditionally supposed to be. I strive for the creation of an ambiguous and impossible universe where fantasy becomes the main course and invites the spectator to search within the pieces for the clues that will ultimately form the narrative of the story. Like a comic book in which the storyline is not yet determined completely but is created with each issue. Here, both the individual and the society in which they exist are the central characters thus becoming analogies to our collective realities. Imaginative dimensions of every day life. I want people to laugh at a joke they don't yet understand and then figure out the message behind the piece on their own. That message is the punchline behind the joke.
Many of my recent pieces invite the spectator to interact with them directly, either by touching them, playing with them or by being a part in their destruction and decay. I'm trying to blur the line between illustration, painting and conceptual pieces of sculpture and installation by using elements that would normally belong in paintings into radical forms of sculpture. I want people to lose respect for the technical part of the work, the painting , the drawing so that then they can break their own barriers and begin creating on their own.
My Mantra: “Create to destroy, destroy to create.”
