I am very intrigued by the connection between abstract form and figurative art – or more precisely, I am interested in people and the environments they create. I used different methods when creating the various parts of the painting. I often work with changes of texture within one area of colour: when viewed from certain angles, the brushstrokes create the feeling of digital noise, breaking up the image. This element is impossible to capture in a photo.
