From the Artist: Light always interested me. Light is hope, Light is warmth, Light is life.
I can’t get the old, traditional pattern “Log Cabin” out of my mind. Again and again I have a new variation to test. So, modern and free interpretations get created. And I like to play with colours! So I try to transfer ideas, atmosphere or themes with the help of colours and simple patterns (triangles, Log Cabins, etc.). I paint with fabrics like an artist painter! For a long time I tried to find new possibilities, new techniques to express my ideas and I was very unhappy. A few time ago now, I returned to my old way of performance. I consolidate deeper the themes and my technique becomes very fine but also effortlessly.
