In this new series of works I have started to explore how to express a sense of depth by layering gradients onto each other, whilst still painting ‘wet-in-wet’, which means painting in one and the same layer. I am deeply fascinated by the meeting point of the material and the immaterial, the physically painted and digital aesthetics. I apply traditional oil paints in ways to create images that stand between minimalist paintings on the one hand and digital renders on the other. In all of these works the material quality is of great importance.
