My subject is feelings that are coming from the unconsciousness, in particular deep fears and repressed emotions. All of these negative emotions we have hidden somewhere inside of us, for example if we feel guilty, embarrassed, shame or anger. When we are able to express these emotions the effect of them softens. My brushes and the concept that I create with my art is this softened emotion that arises from the unconsciousness.

Within my work, you will see all of these emotions reflected. Anger, shame, relief, redemption, hate and jealousy amongst others. No specific colour represents any emotion, rather it is a fluid expression as is the case with how we deal with such emotions, for example anger can be expressed through screaming which in turn provides relief.
I want to inspire people to feel and express their emotions more and more. I was not doing this for many years, but I consider myself lucky now to express them through my art.
