I first started as an expressionist, spending loads of time with dots and stripes in chaos. One thing i know for sure is that at heart i am an expressionist. But after my third exhibition Angst Emerging, i realised that Pop Art, with its hyper-interactive way of conveying and communicating, is what really suits me, what i need on my way to speak out my ideology, to say out loud what disturbs me everyday from what i witness. So here we go with my own 'propaganda' statement-giving paintings.
My main concerns are also inlcuding whatever matters to me everyday,ranging from my own self, my own existence to the materialism and consumerism spoiling the whole world and keeping us from seeing the needs of being independent on materialism.
If i had to say something about myself, i would say i am a YOU-NAME-IT activist who's just trying to do nothing but to whisper into your ears or to wide open your eyes or even punch you in the face only to shake off your blindness and shut down your coldness to our world's problems nowadays.
SO FOR IT I'VE BEEN FIGHTING !!!
