In my paintings and pictorial interventions I develop architectural figurations, animated membrane and textile marks. They appear on silver leaf mosaics arranged in lattice-like structures with outlines of varying concision.
I use natural oxidation processes of leaf metals, a traditional technique in Japanese temple painting, for my self-forming light paintings.
