“… During the creative process, I have intense experiences in front of the
painting especially at the moment when the space takes shape and one immerses oneself in the painting through feelings and memories. I don’t draw on specific experiences, though. I’ve never seen a house like this, but perhaps one similar to it. I’ve been in similar rooms, but I don’t try to ‘reconstruct’ them.
I want to have new experiences, to empathize with new places. That is painting.
I try to sense surfaces. This creates the opportunity to immerse myself much more deeply in the painting.”
