About
Lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
«For the past few years, my work has been centered on approaching painting not as an inert image, but rather as an event. Whether it be painting or installations, what I seek to live and share is the concrete experience of the present.
Continuing with this goal, my current project consists of a series of paintings where I translate my own experience of a place.
First, my walks. Walking is to step without a specific purpose, to step for the sheer pleasure of doing so. Walks are fundamentally purposeless; they are useless; they are inactivities. In wandering, in inactive pauses, a different reality is revealed. This reality is not accessible through any activity, through any action. In wandering, I dig my feet into the earth and find a meditative state.»
