A tear in a golden veil, a flaw in a screen.
The golden surface with free contours moves aside and reveals another space behind it, a fragment of an image.
Here the gold background appears first, unlike its role as an abstract background in the Middle Ages paintings. And those of the 14th century when the gold background may share space with landscapes of the beginnings.

“Dreams” plays with this historical hinge by bringing together the medieval abstract background and the distant landscape of Renaissance paintings. The hinterland.
The landscapes of “Dreams” are not descriptive, they do not allow us to establish a map based on their form. They evoke spaces without attachments and float like clouds in a larger space, also close to abstraction.
I travel to places I have never seen.
“Dreams” concentrates the spirit and the traces of my intimately known and traveled landscapes. The ponds, abandoned salt marshes, paths traced in the salt, run by the winds.
