“New perspectives can spring up from within the most insignificant everyday moments. A private photograph, a newspaper article or even a still frame of a film can be the medium for another dimension. All these are my raw materials, from which I gradually release any unnecessary features that trap them into the optically compatible world. I want my paintings to have a universality that goes beyond the context of a particular place, time or person.”
