In my paintings I am interestd to find moments that combine grace and anxiety in a space where they reside together, like the moment a parent makes sure his baby is breathing in its sleep.
I work on painting surfaces such as plywood (preferebly reclaimed), unstreched canvas, and clay that create a lively dialogue with the painting and enrich its physicality.
I am also preoccupies with the relationship between the image and the format, the politics of which of these two defines the other.
