“I use the color red as it correlates with emotions on both sides of the spectrum. On one end you have love, on the other end you have hate and in the middle so many different emotions... always very intense ones. 'To love and be loved in return' is about the uncertainty of passion and the quiet feeling that love offers you. When love starts and takes you into a whirlpool of emotions. I often use self-portraiture to express human feelings, sometimes inspired by autobiographical feelings sometimes inspired by other's feelings. Human emotion is an endless source of inspiration. Love is a very universal feeling. Throughout times and across cultures it has always been one of our most important needs.”
