Statement
"after ada"
Here I transform children’s scribbled drawings in large-size lines and shapes: the children’s drawing is my inspiration. My whole arm acts like the hand of the child which draws with a flick of the wrist. The intention is to preserve the natural dynamics of the line in its beauty. In order to emphasize or to embed the lines, or as a consequence, I apply partially transparent layers of colour glaze. Sometimes the drawing forms an outline for a colour composition, sometimes line and colour flow freely on the drawing. Thus I pick up the thread of my previous artistic development from figurative to abstract to figurative and back again in a new way: the object imagined by the child is - despite the transportation of its characteristics – abstracted, not only formally but also conceptually and in content. As in my other earlier works, I am guided strongly by intuition and by my current mental state in the choice and composition of colours, the working out of the structure and the modification of the line.
