„This series of „genetically modified paintings“ deal with the idea of migration, of struggling to reach „the higher grounds“, where someone can guarantee the safety or success. In 2015, the media was hauled with news about Syrian immigrants and the tough conditions they face during their exodus to the Golden West. It created an obsession that divided people into groups and resurfaced older issues such as christianity, nationalism, work ethics, payment standards, etc. But it also pointed to a different immediate future, to a time of necessary changes that will create a new kind of world, in which all of us will have trouble adapting and getting through.

I myself struggle, through my art, to reach the position of making myself heard and understood, and this process is also making me feel like an immigrant, like a genetically modified something, trying to create a breach into the impenetrable fence that encloses the acknowledgment of being an artist. I don‘t encounter anything like those poor immigrants do; my borders are called genre, epoch, group-ism, affiliation, representation, style, novelty. One can lawfully cross those borders, others can sneak across when the guards aren‘t aware, but I rather like the world without delimitations, physical or any other kind“.
