Palimpsest : a manuscript or piece of writing material on which later writing has been superimposed on effaced earlier writing
Drawing and painting are tools in my hands. Tools to measure, perceive and ultimately understand what we are.
The context and method of my work is a ‘palimpsest’: a complex, multi-layered collection of different elements, definitions, memories - influenced by the experience of identity, history, culture, language and analogy. It is a carefully planned act of destruction of an already existing ‘materia’, followed by the gesture of creating the record or library of elements. It is controlled but on the other hand there is the element of chance as the destructed layer might make an appearance against the violent will of destruction. Palimpsest is an existentialist struggle desiring to deny temporality. Its nature originates in violence.
There is beauty in violence. A thought, an idea may bear the mark of beauty, but the interpretation of them might deliver destruction.
