Artist's statement

With my pictures I wish to amuse and confuse myself and you.

To my pictures of snails with cats' eyes or eggs containing the
world I add little things from our modern everyday life: pieces
of plastic cards, electronic components, SIMs, glitter from the
Christmas tree in January, or an earring when the other one is
lost. In this way I find endless sources of amusement since all
the little scraps of civilisation can be seen as possible assets
in my picture world.
