My paintings show a spectrum of characters captured in various situations or accompanied by a symbol. As a result, the paintings are enriched with a plot, a story stub, which makes the characters more intimate and interesting for the viewer; they may try to imagine how these stories unfurl. The titles also offer some hints, which the viewer may or may not follow.
