Between Still-life and Composition

My paintings are continuously taking a stand in between a figurative and a nonfigurative painting. And even when the subject is strongly stated, some section of the painting is referring to something else. By this I shake the statement of the chosen image being the primary subject matter. Almost anything may rise as the main subject. This redundancy and overlapping of the images leads to that I use several subjects and the final painting is a mix of concurrent associations. For some reason a presence of different elements, levels and layers fascinate me, which makes the painting not just one but many at the same time. Thus the piece has not just one meaning but it gets its meaning from the relationship of the overlapping subjects.

Besides the images, the painting’s material features are a part of the subject that I am discussing.  These material features are for example the colour and the pigment of the colour, the structure of the canvas, my way of applying the colour on the canvas, and the resistance of the natural appearance of the material. The material is both the tool and the purpose at the same

The subject matter in art and its several variations, reaching for the meaning through representation, or without will probably still be the basis of my work in the future.
