(OCLC) "During the 1980s my paintings were developed using different technical possibilities of making a surface. I always liked the idea of paint, but was using elements of collage and printing. and glued them onto my canvas. I experimented a lot because I always wanted to be a painter but I never liked the gesture of the artist or the brushstroke showing the painterly process.".
