In my art I'm taking mirrors out of their original context, forming geometric abstractions using a technique of relief outliners, glass paints and oil-based paints on mirrors.

 

Using mirrors allows me to create art that changes with different perspectives, transformed by each unique glance. Each artwork has a unique balance between concealment and revelation, allowing for glimpses of the person standing in front of it to shine through. I consider each  to be incomplete until a person stands in front of it and allows him/herself to be transformed into a work of art.

​

Seeing oneself and surroundings through a mirror and the art prism combined, is meant to explore the act of perception, and the complex relations between our sense of self and our mirrored image.

 

The language of the geometric abstraction through which the viewer is reflected leads to different questions: are there not always "filters" obstructing and manipulating our vision? Be it our emotions (often coloring reality), our preconceived notions, our previous experiences, society's expectations, or even the filters of technology and image manipulations (photoshop, Instagram etc.)- We rarely look at reality, others or even ourselves "unfiltered". Seeing oneself through these artworks is meant to stop the gaze searching the mirrored image for imperfections. Instead noticing the unique way in which we are always influencing everything around us – be it people, the environment or art.
