The canvas is a place of experimentation and learning, light is centeral to all my Painting. I like breaking down information to its structure, I hope to express feelings or memories but I have no pre-determined outcome in mind. I let the painting unfold using Acrylic paint, sand and gold foil, Im aiming to capture light and space in its physical sense.
I am exploring the surface of paint and its change in terms of light reflection and absorption. The use of silver allows me to experiment with light in the environment and its interaction with the painting, the surface of silver is cetching light and seems to dig into the two dimensions of the picture plane. The black paint on the canvas and the changing brightness is pushing and pulling the light forwards and backwards causing structure to appear and disappear.
