How do you describe your own art practice?
I’m seeking instability in minimalism. Often it’s an attempt to reduce things to their simplest form, character and function. I try to undermine the reality and function of an object or shape in order to redefine it as an abstract form.
In other works I begin with a long repetitive process of painting layer over layer, with a specific line or composition. I will work until the surface feels perfect. The next step is quick and intuitive.
What was your first experience with art?
During an art class in high school I was supposed to draw a still life, containing a tablecloth. This was very intuitive and only later I understood what happened. At a certain point I discovered the lines of Mondriaan in it.
What is your greatest source of inspiration?
Minimalism, mistakes.
What do you need in order to create your work?
Time and a deadline.
What are you working on at the moment?
I just finished my publication Form no Form / The Black Series and a solo show at Billytown.
So it’s time to develop new works now, I’m thinking about some reflecting paintings, and some works without a stretcher (also paintings).
What work or artist has most recently surprised you?
