I was bewitched as a child

The painting series is deeply based on a feeling of difference and not belonging, living as an outsider, when your own organism is treated as defective and strange. They want to observe a coping mechanism of seeing the body as a broken toy-like instrument or something unreal and immaterial, but beautiful in its uniqueness. Finally, why does the closest materia, your own flesh, turn out to be the most difficult puzzle? Other relations that came up for the artist during the creative process were puberty, the rejection of genitalia, body dysmorphia. Getting tired of only “classic” male and female figures presenting in art and media, feminine and masculine mix together and disappear altogether on the paintings.
