Artist’s statement (2022)
Via repetition and seriality, I aim to research the boundaries and possibilities of painting. During the process of repeating a painting or painterly object, the separate works create patterns and influence and affect one another. Questions about the works themselves, the impossibility of their autonomy and the boundaries of a single canvas in relation to the others arise. During my long-term projects in which the act of repetition takes center stage, I aim to lay bare habitual ways of perceiving and the patterns through which we perceive the world around us. The eventual emplacement of the objects in a space allows me to research their conditions, when they are subjected to these newly found relations.

Keywords: Painting, repetition, frames, limits 

Philosophical research
My philosophical research focuses on (critical) phenomenology, philosophical aesthetics, and philosophy of art. I mainly focus on Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy.
