"For me, drawing is an almost magical experience; being able to convey visual information through the pen. This is where the foundation for my drawing lies: gathering information, cementing experiences, a snapshot of my world for a moment. The beautiful thing about drawing is that it’s not about copying – it’s a process that interprets and transforms reality. In drawing, I’m free to depict reality as I experience it, not as it looks.

For me, the creative process always begins with an idea, more like a feeling or a question that I want to explore than a clear image of the artwork I want to create. Through drawing, I gather the information I believe I need, before letting the process run freely. The longer I keep on, the less significant the actual motif that I’m depicting becomes. The drawing takes on a life of its own. Every mark on the paper poses a thousand questions, and every new mark must relate to the previous one. In the act of drawing, a unique language emerges where the lines speak."
