Statement
»My work is a constant search to express and represent my ideas. My occurring artworks are a reaction of my inspiration.This starts with an image, that inspires me in certain way to do an embroidery that changes it into a new one. I am always searching for a new sense of interpretation for my pieces. My technique for that is using thread as the medium to merge different time spaces. I am not afraid of breaking a picture, the important thing for me is using embroidery, a technique not usually used on paper, to do it on a photograph, because this is a part of the process.
I intervene images by applying my own perception of beauty to them. Sometimes by giving them a new identity or a different aesthetic concept. It’s the chance to give this image a new emotion, a new life, a new interpretation of beauty through embroidering.« Via
