lif is læne: eal scæceð leoht and lif somod
[Life is fleeting, all departs, light and life together.]

Beowulf (Unknown Author)

All the effort that I put in my work comes from my awareness that my time here, like everyone else’s, is fleeting.

From this awareness comes a vow. This vow that I have articulated in my adult life, but which I have actually made since I was born- is to contribute to the world with my own Aesthetic footprint. My earliest memories involve me being moved by works of art: music, films, paintings and unwilling sculptures I chanced upon as I made my first footsteps on this planet, to name a few. I have always been excited by the idea of an aesthetic, but mostly of the fact that each individual can contribute to the world with their own aesthetic language, no matter their background. When I talk about contributing to the world with my own Aesthetic language, I do not mean just things of beauty, but also things that could come across as strange, disturbing and even violent. Things that have a strong presence but also things that are so subtle they can risk being overlooked for centuries. All these ‘things’ become ideas, concepts, and projects both failed and fully fledged, expressed through various mediums, from images to text, to performance, to cinema and music, and all will ultimately reflect on (and help maintain) my openness to the world and my own aliveness. I call my artistic practice

THE ECSTASY OF EXISTENCE

This website will serve as my own catalogue where I try to give each of my mediums a just space to show my Aesthetic language.

Thank you for visiting.
