Art is for me a way of life, not a separate activity.
It is a combination of love, skill and attention.
Love is the quality of surrender; no holding back, but
letting go and allowing something to come
through myself.
Skill comes through regular practice. Day after day I
have to devote myself to using heavy material, cutting
lead/glass or other materials and creating "shells",
shapes for my bodies.
Creating art also requires me to pay attention. The
mind has to be fully present. For me it is a form of
meditation
The source of inspiration for my art is the nature and
behaviour of we human beings. There is a vitality, a
life force, an energy in us that I would like to
translate through my work.
