Adverso flumine
Omnia vincit Amor
kitsch as kitsch can
Memento mori
My points of interest are always diverse, but polarizing:
Social and political critical mixed media kitsch paintings, objects and installations with the individuum on its focus in an hedonistic way of Neo Pop Art.
Eclectic accumulations of upcycled implements, memories of textiles, Memento mori.
A repetition of themes: live, sickness and death from the eyes of refugees, homeless, psychological sick, handicapped and drug addicted humans by personal research through my glasses.
Therefor My oeuvre is always rich of contrasts in colour, material and themes and tries to give an aspect of living with handicaps.
