20.04

The painting is part of a master’s thesis in which the artist explores the complexity and significance of the note. Messages in the form of dates, times, and keywords blend into the composition, creating intimate, inner landscapes of everyday life. Creating on the spur of the moment is key to the artist’s practice. None of the works are preceded by a preliminary sketch or concept; everything happens here and now, as if the canvas were becoming a loose sketch or doodle. The painting "20.04" is a response to a turbulent period full of frustration, ambiguity, and the unknown that lies just around the corner and could herald many different scenarios.
