In isolation I found comfort in creating a dreamworld with open spaces. Initially I fantasized about an alien planet made of tiny, pixel sized creatures. From far away the planet gives the illusion of being solid but if observed closely, it becomes clear that the space is nonmaterial.  This inspired abstract, colourful art made from digitally edited images of concrete, rust and most of all clouds. Clouds became so predominant in my art that I began to question the narrative that I was pursuing. My work was reminding me of visions of paradise. So, I started looking at  western depictions of  heaven and how philosophers dealt with concepts such as aliens, the afterlife and physicality. Influenced by Plato’s idea of the Supercelestial and Foucault’s Heterotopias I build more dreamscapes blending the concepts of alien & heaven .

After all, both maybe exist (fingers crossed), float in space, are governed by weird laws of gravity and force, are pretty damn magical AND large part of the population knows about them from movies or religions/cults.
