In 2017 I took a turn and stopped painting in the almost photo-realistic style. For how I wanted my paintings to be, I felt it was no longer necessary to accurately represent every detail.
I wanted to use more painterly expression, more visible brush-strokes. More importantly, unlike most of my previous figurative paintings that depicted just one figure, many of the new works should, among other things, show interaction between people or show situations and objects that have references to the questions of our time. Working on deeper meaningful content, both artistically and substantively; in paint and depicted situations.
