Our ever-accelerating, computerized world diminishes the age-old human ability of intuition and imagination. By mapping the world of symbols, C.G. Jung opened a path to the ancient knowledge residing in the personal and collective unconscious; giving humanity the opportunity to recover its lost archaic capabilities. As an artist, I work on the visual portrayal of the world of the unconscious based on Jung's theories. My biomorphic hieroglyphics represent this sphere; and though my focus is on painting, sometimes I give these shapes a sculptural form. The main aspect of my work is the exploration of the personal and the collective unconscious through art. I am fascinated by the common threads that run through cultures and histories, revealing our shared humanity. Dream interpretation is a key element of my creative process, which provides the basis for capturing the non-tangible and makes it possible to build up a world parallel to the unconscious. In my paintings, shapes and negative space meet and entwine resulting in layers to explore. To tap into deeper levels, I use figurative abstraction to create an expressive and emotionally charged visual realm. The schematic and simplified forms come from an ever-growing visual library I have built up over years of studies, supplemented by content related imagery taken from creation myths, traditional fairy tales and alchemical manuscripts. On each painting, to enhance a certain aspect of the meaning I work with saturated colour palette. The varied use of abstract and symbolic elements always generates a new story waiting to be interpreted by the audience.
