Right before the war broke out in Ukraine, we had a very uneasy feeling here in North-eastern Europe. It was a certitude of fragility: how all the good things are easily broken and need a high level of protection, happiness and security: children, doll houses, fruit bowls and quiet evenings in candle light. The next morning, February the 24th, I woke up crying, very early. I turned on news a couple of hours later and cried even more for weeks to come. Peace, the greatest achievement of human kind, had ended in Europe just a thousand kilometers away from my home. So I am painting angels right now. Seventy two of them, hoping to create peace, solace and hope again. As we can only meet angels on earth while they are acting through other humans, I have a growing collection of portraits: children, grown-ups, happy and sad, all kinds of angels who cross my path. I'm using watercolor technique, as the floating, light, transparent, unearthly pigments seems to best reveal the nature of angels and hope.

My love for printed words is so strong that I make paintings and sculptures from orphaned books. I add different sorts of paper, textile fiber and found objects and treat this mixture as if it was a marble mine. I regard all human-made commodities as the raw material of the 21st century, they add opulence, playfulness and weirdness to my objects. My sculptures are hybrids - installations, huge marionettes and idol figures. I overcome gravity using a technique from marionette theater. Sculptures float in air and strings make them alive. I paint because I'm volatile. I catch all my demons and fears with a brush, so they are not threatening anymore. I'm hesitant, that's why I paint portraits in real time. Models don't have to speak. Sometimes I lay paintings in a horizontal plane, like huge rolls of parchment. The public can touch it, walk and crawl on it, contemplating the importance of daily grounding. I'm a mystic. I borrow deities and create semisacred, eerie spaces where sculptures, paintings, words and animation merge in a numinous, baroque amalgam. I love the tactile. My objects are sensuous to touch. I love word constellations, so there are collections of short stories to accompany the visual work. In a courageous mood, I transform stories into puppet performances and collaborate with theaters and musicians.
