Original artwork description:

I painted a 4-part Pandemic series of the Covid-19 epidemic, focusing on human isolation, the pain and loss caused by the epidemic, and the socio-economic impacts. In every case, the inspiration for the paintings was a well-known art piece that I reinterpreted and placed into the context of Pandemic.

I painted this artwork in the fall of 2019 and then categorized it into my Pandemic series in early 2020.
To me, this image is all about distance, expulsion from Paradise, as if God had let go of our hands. We need to reevaluate our lives. We have to think about the importance of things. We also need to think about the challenges of our time, such as climate change, pandemics, the refugee crisis and the accompanying economic crisis. For me, this artwork means all of this.
Pandemic, it’s almost just a phrase but I mean that history is happening in the 2020s. It’s global and this fact is, in a weird, almost perverted way, tingling the senses. It’s acidic and salty, painful and exciting, happening in the philosophical sphere and the bloody reality at the same time.


In recent years, I have used OSB as a basis. By retracting the paint layers, I use the texture of the veneer as part of my compositions to create a unique rustic industrial atmosphere. Due to the OSB plate, these artworks are heavy. This is recycled art.

The painting is made with self-made paint, which basically consists of pigments and beeswax. Does not contain oil or other paints.
The procedure itself dates back to antiquity and has been known for thousands of years. Only few artists around the world work with wax on its own.
