"The moment when I have to talk about my own work is always difficult for me. After all, I have already included my emotions, feelings, thoughts in a painting that was created at a specific time, in a specific mental condition, I painted it in a specific moment that has already passed.

I think that what I paint is not too distant for the viewer. We experience similar emotions: sadness, a longing for something important, something superior, something like the sacred. Often it is simply a longing for something past. We look for something in our surroundings, in the landscape, maybe in our dreams: meanings, signs, light, maybe something ordering our reality. My search for order on canvas directly stems from the search for order and harmony in the surrounding world and in myself. I do not paint representational paintings, but neither do I think of them as abstract paintings. I reject the presence of real representation, choosing absence: I paint understated stories, suggestions of landscape, signs of events. My paintings are stories without a punch line."
