What inspires you to continue making work?

My painting is above all, a love story between pleasure and contradictions. 

I love to play, and painting is my playground. A place where I can fall, hurt myself, enjoy myself and work. Someplace where I can be serious or mess around, and amuse people. It is like a theatre stage, a set, where I can play with mediums, formats, and the different subjects that constitute my paintings, which can become proper characters, as I play with the wurst. 

I am crazy about old and contemporary painting and their various textures which I play with, adding generosity and fattiness. 

The sight of flesh, barbecues, accidents, jokes, hot images and photographs, dogs on the street, postal cards, cookbooks inspire me. I collect pictures (found footage images and personal ones), they have a key role as well, as painting to me is, food for the eye.

If you could say anything to your former self, regarding your art practice, that would help you progress what would it be?

Don’t be scared of painting and its subject. Go ahead, keep on exploring your silliness. Greet the sun and please enjoy yourself.
