" The central artistic concern becomes clear in the juxtaposition of diversity. Playing with our perception, including the question of what can a panel painting achieve today?
The terms duality and polarity are also suitable descriptive aids, because so-called pairs of opposites are always combined in my works: painting - graphics - organic form - technical structure, man - woman, etc.
In the underneath and above and before and behind, it slowly became clear that I have always been concerned with spaces and interstices. About distance and closeness, about body and space in a flat picture" -- Robert Kabas
