On My Artistic Development Leading to Drawing on Fabrics

The author describes the development of her painting and drawing during the past 15 years. Her work is related to her notions of time and space, to the idea that to live means to exist between one’s external and one’s internal world. As one’s external world is often limited by the lonely time spent in one’s, room, her concerns in her work are personal enclosures. She tries to express simultaneity in or between internal and external worlds: how public affairs are seen from a bedroom; how the eyes perceive a shadow moving in a landscape and in memory; how a portrait comes into being between the drawing surface, the artist’s hand and the face of the person depicted. Her work, shaped by circumstances and personal inclinations, has developed from paintings that were tightly structural, very colourful and of small size towards monochromatic and loosely structured drawings of large size that closely depict her perception of visual reality
