I have expressed myself through artistic means ever since I was able to hold a pencil, and my deeply rooted fascination for the animal kingdom became the catalyst for my later more specialized art creation. A fixation of mine have always been observing animal's movements, behaviors , and audible as well as their physical body languages. Characterizing these features has henceforth come naturally to me, and how I perceive these features is what I want to portray in my art.
In my creative process I aim for achieving a carefully thought out combination of details, surrealistic attributes along with physiologically, correctly depicted anatomy, which in turn serves its purpose in acting as a counterpart to surrealistic fragments. I work primarily with ink on paper, which is the artistic technique I am most experienced within, and would consider to be my forte. Working with combinations of traditional and digital art is yet another approach that feels natural and becoming to me.
To visually create an organism that does not exist, and simply through the portrayal make the creature feel like it theoretically instead could – is the phenomenon I want the core of my art to be.
I intend to visualize the invisible, validate the invalid and amalgamate the disparate with the analogous. What I want to explore within my art is the encounter between the bestial and the humane. What passes as normalcy, and what gets designated as oddity. Through my art, I aim to question the consumer, what is it that makes us respectively humanize or objectify beings that are atypical to how we perceive ourselves?
