To be honest, they came about spontaneously, during the process, in dialogue with the paintings because they form part of the same idea. For me, they are self-portraits and they have appeared at the same time as I have made this clear change in both my personal and professional life \u2013 it\u2019s something else which coalesces in the Looking for Goya <\/em>series.<\/p>\n

The kind of painting I was doing up until three years ago was lyrical abstraction, sensitive and emotional, influenced by everything that fascinated me. The periods of time I spent on my two most recent residencies \u2013 at ICCI Art Valley Jiao Tong University, in Shanghai in 2019, and the IV Symposium Art Diagonale in Wels, Austria, in 2021 \u2013 as well as the period during the pandemic, have led to my reframing my artistic practice because abstraction alone is no longer enough.<\/p>\n

At this point, I identify more with the Fluxus view of art and life as inseparable. I feel that my work, my attitude to life and these ideas I\u2019m developing, encompass much more than abstract painting alone, and I need to express this in different ways. The intellectual side of the painting that I do, that I\u2019ve always done, is now more visible\u201d.<\/p>\n
