In his own words:
“ And I often hear that people want to
“read” my work. This is due to the fact that they do not approach the paintings
by asking, “What does the artist want to show me?” and instead ask “What is the
story?” I believe that my works are instead an offering; it’s the world as I
see it. And the real goal for me is to activate something in the spectator. It
all depends on whether the spectator is willing and able to activate their own
“image archive,” because it really depends on the interaction between the image
offered up in the painting and those in your head as a viewer, and what you
make of the connections.”
