Statement (short): By staying away from the actual reality around us, I try to evoke a nostalgic atmosphere. Atmosphere and space, which are not determined by all kinds of realistic details, but rather by simplicity, an often sober color palette, so that a certain color accent gets all the attention. And without losing much recognisability and realism, the work must above all be a beautifully painted work. This is for the experience and viewing distance of the spectator.
