The act of painting allows me to focus on creative construction. All my life, the process has been growing, and it seems to coincide with my development as a person. It is another way to identify my vision and thoughts; it allows me to express myself.

As a painter I have always been creating naturalistic and figurative works. Paintings which depict or show imagery from the world around us. I have always liked it when my painting gestures show expression and a painting has body. I find it remarkable how a stroke of paint can transfer some kind of emotion or message to a spectator, even many years later.

In this project of crowdpainting I am chasing some idea which changed my approach to painting. As a figurative painter I just was bored with the imagery being the dominant element of the painting. For me, it is the materiality and act of painting which I can appreciate much more.  It is in these crowdpaintings that I can fully focus on the markmaking of expressive painting, without even losing the image.
