i am a storyteller...

My art practice is characterized by the juxtaposition of different narratives and the creation of different stories advocating for social awareness, participation and change within the public and private. I'm driven by the idea that art can make a difference when the viewer relates himself or herself to the artwork.

My pieces are inspired by social documentaries and popular culture mainly. In documentaries I see a great variety of approaches that advocate for social change, which inspire me to work with similar issues through my own perspectives. Simultaneously popular culture impacts me strongly. The language, the appealingness and the way people relate to it intrigue me and concurrently give me the tools to blend my work into people's everyday lives.

I work with objects, installations and interventions using text and photography, interweaving verbal and non-verbal elements within them and creating a social-critical discourse between different layers, modalities and forms. I explore possibilities within socially engaged art, where I strive to create situations or spaces of hope, making projects and single pieces that seek to provoke and encourage the audience to question social issues such as: the use of public space, social segregation, individual behaviour and identity studies.
