While Unconscious (2012)
The series "While Unconscious" puts focus on the individual and examines our autonomy in relation to our subconsciousness. The paintings are set in existing landscapes that should indicate places where the conscious and subconscious convene.
Collective human dream patterns and archaic symbols have been used as guidelines in these paintings. Lust, beauty and self-confidence are as loud as the vulnerability, brutality and loneliness.

Study of distrust (2012)
Distrust (or mistrust) is a formal way of not trusting any one party too much in a situation of grave risk or deep doubt. It is commonly expressed in civics as a division or balance of powers, or in politics as means of validating treaty terms. Systems based on distrust simply divide the responsibility so that checks and balances can operate. The phrase "Trust, but verify" refers specifically to distrust.

Liar (2010)
The exposed throat in "Liar" does not only speak of submissiveness and vulnerability but also about trust and tenderness.
In this series of paintings the relationship between the master and the slave or between the constructive and the destructive are being questioned.

"Imagine the feeling of being accused of lying even though you haven't. Imagine the feeling of helplessness, injustice and anguish. Imagine the ambivalence, should I, increasingly desperate, defend my true innocence, should I give in. Or should I assert my right by suffocating the opponent?"
