A portrait of mental states, in a face that is simultaneously a mask. Because a face is always simultaneously a mask. The mask is simply sometimes more effective and sometimes not. They reveal emotion, inner turmoil, the emptiness of existence and the feeling of absence. Faces and Masks are themes to which I inescapably return from time to time, sometimes in the form of hallucinated portraits. In reality, it is neither the faces nor the masks that fascinate me, but the mental states they reveal or try to avoid revealing. Works with surrealist tendencies but mostly situated in the realm of figurative expressionism.
