Previously on… brings together works from the past three years and takes its title from a phrase deeply embedded in the grammar of American television series. “Previously on…” marks the moment of return before a story continues: a condensed recollection of what has already happened, a threshold between past and present, memory and anticipation.

After Iconoclasm
"A contemporary investigation of the icon, abstraction and the spiritual potential of painting. My painting explores the question of what significance the image can still hold in a present where images have become omnipresent while simultaneously losing their depth and meaning. The starting point of my work is the icon – not as a historical or religious image form, but as a fundamental model of the image itself: a space of concentration, contemplation, and encounter between the visible and the invisible. I investigate how this original power of the image can be translated into a contemporary visual language. The painting is not understood as an object, but as a space of experience."
