For the first time in this exhibition, I show works made with liquid acrylic paint on canvas. For this I experiment with the technique of “acrylic pouring”. I especially like that the results are only
partially controllable and always have a surprise factor. This challenges me, as an artist, to trust more and more the flow of creative laws of nature.
