I am interested in reconstructing symbols. It's about connecting with an older knowledge and trying to discover continuities in why we search for heaven.

Because of my Calvinistic upbringing, I was trained to think that what you do has to have a purpose.

I never see a forest that does not bear a mark or a sign of history.

I am of the opinion that there are artists and non-artists. I think that this is the way it always was and always will be. I do not believe that we are in the center of the world. It is possible that there are gods who do not relate to human. As an artist, I believe that it is possible to depict these forces.

Art really is something very difficult. It is difficult to make, and it is sometimes difficult for the viewer to understand. It is difficult to work out what is art and what is not art.

History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images.
