“For 20 years or so, I've been deconstructing and reconstructing classical art, by injecting the influences I got by being a kid from the 80' and 90's. As a child, I was constantly cartooning. As a teen, I got the impression that cartoons where never taken seriously, so I started painting. I thought there wasn't anything as serious as classical art. I found the paradox really interesting, since I came from a totally different artistic nature. The clash and explosive mix between mainstream, wicked cartoons and Rococo, where everything is soft and beautiful, was visually inviting in my mind. For me, the idea that a static image can have the power to transcend an audience or communicate many things in a single glimpse, is a precious and profound thing. Today, my work is about making classical art live through our modern times.”
