ARTIST STATEMENT
The art form drawing has accompanied me for a very long time. Drawing is a unique process of absorbing and digesting contemporary thought. With simple dark lines I create a new and unique visual world. Through intense contemplation and simultaneous reflection, stroke by stroke a new image develops with graphite pencil, a variety of gray tones combined with the natural hue of the canvas or paper. Fragments from different times and media stand at the end of a long process and are not only drawn reflection, but understand themselves as independent new works.
