"In this work, hundreds of impressionist paintings dissolve to create an animated film with hypnotic effects. The work looks at the world as patterns of pure colours and brushstrokes. It questions photographic reality and offers a view free from categorisation."

“All light is new. All light is old. When it disappears, it’s gone forever.

My uncle was born blind. He never saw anything. Or, that is: if he looked directly at the sun, he could see red patches of light.

It’s easier at night. It’s easier to forget what things look like.

I remember the very first time I mixed colours. I can’t remember what colours they were – but I clearly remember the sensation of two things becoming a third. I was euphoric, but there was also something in me that was afraid.

A painting is never finished. You’re always starting over.

Only when the painter no longer knows what he is doing the picture begins to open up. Only when the painter realizes that painting is something you can practice but never understand. The colours are their own.”
