Biography
Painter, illustrator and designer working with old used paper.
I enjoy working in many different media ranging from charcoal, photos and ink to collage and paintings.
Old pages come to new life. Old postcards, books, newspapers or music manuals combined with new paintings regain its former glory. Old paper is perfectly suited for painting with ink, coffee and wine. Ink does not smudge on the paper, nor does it wrinkle when it is wet. While painting with wine and coffee on new sheets of paper, the colours appear changed, red wine turns purple and brown coffee become grey. The paper also begins to stick and crease, which doesn’t happen with old paper. Ink applied to old paper retains its unique black. It is opening new possibilities of painting.
Large amounts of ink or coffee do not destroy the painting, moreover it adds more movement and emotions to my work. In almost all of my work I try to use old paper, some dating back more than 100 years. These combined with old postcards and stamps I get a very unique result at the end.
My technique of wet stamping with various materials, such as jeans, rags and leather, give my paintings the expression of realism and truth.
