1989 - 1992
My beginnings as an artist were marked by a feeling of departure. The feeling at that time was that even though I possed everything that "society" says one should have (i. e. a car, job, apartment, friends), I did not really feel happy. It was a time of radically letting go in a search for personal happiness.
Many of that era's paintings reflect chaos, endless pathways, aimless wandering. But also discovering and examining the world. Images "emerge ", eyes and faces blink forth, crystallize to sink back again, shortly after, into creative turbulence.
It was also a time of personal departure as I tore apart my "old life" piece by piece, and started my wanderings through Asia, Europe and America.
