”I go into the studio every day hoping for an unknown adventure. I start painting without any preset idea and let incidences intuitively dictate my daily work. I think, this method is the best for mixtures of painting, printing and digital imaging. It is the optimization of a 20-year collection of solutions for the multimedia dilemma. I am using the inharent characteristic of acrylic paint to produce a series: the ability to stick to one surface and not to another is just as important for the creation of my work as its flexible nature. I paint a monotype in acrylic paint for the latter combination with my digital file.”
