I use painting to depict the inter-woven relationship between reality and media. Modern cultures engagement with technology allows one to blur the lines between fantasy and reality into an interchangeable network. By using general figures and manipulated icons and situations, I create an environment all its own. Embedded in both the desire for beauty and destruction for what exists and what is culturally constructed. I employ a satirical, sometimes tongue-in-cheek sarcasm in my paintings to create a playful critique of societal conduct. Using a clash of colors, styles and generational references, my paintings display energetic and explosive situations. I combine methods of realism, abstract expressionism, futurism and pop art into a single environment, creating a tension in the space of the painting and the context of images.
