Follow the ways of portraying current and historical themes as well as the critique of today's society (morality, religion, politics). In my works I ask that the figures not be taken as what they are but as a medium which I use to present a larger entirety or story; they are therefore not to be taken as individuals but as general representations. I wish to bring forth a sense of disorientation within time as well as the simultaneous cruelty and beauty of life. In doing so, I would like to introduce a few artists which I believe can help me illuminate these points with their style of painting and thinking (Michaël Borremans, Salvador Dali, Ingres, Gustave Courbet, Rudolf Španzel, etc.).
