Stalking (Forest I)

Suspense is a leitmotiv in my paintings.

The tension about 'things waiting to happen'. Especially the way it is generated, the psychological workings of anticipation and anxiety, related to our existential fears, political, sexual and social. This coexistence of contrasting emotional forces; the anticipation of something waiting to happen and, at the same time, the uncertainty whether anything is actually going to happen, is one of the defining features of my work. In painting I attempt to control the uncontrollable.
