Artist Statement:
I predominantly use pen and ink, colored pencil, crayon and acrylic paint on paper or canvas to create art, which educates or I am focusing on the ‘feel-good factor’: Do not underestimate the effect of a glance at a piece of art. As one may make you angry, another one may sooth your mood or spark a feeling of happiness. And that will effect what you do in a positive way. But what does it require to initiate a certain feeling? Whereas neurobiological and psychological research provides some answers, intuition plays still a key role in my exploration of the connections between colors, shapes and emotions. ’
