Since I was interested in the internet world I took on a job with a company that created a website for gay people to interact and communicate with each other. At first the work seemed tedious and shocking. But working in this environment broadened my perspective and showed me intensely the everyman's loneliness, the dreams, desires and wishes of all people from any country. Reading the site and the individual profiles which each customer is supposed to set up, made me realize that 'I couldn't expect people to do what I thought they would do'. I had the unique oportunity to look into people's deepest desires and this influenced my creative work. Coming from lively colourful oil-paintings, I started to collect my impressions and scribbled them down. The results are drawings &; paintings that show the humour in human relationship, overpowered and dramatic with unpredicatble movemens. The liberation of the suppressed urge against the mind, the bourgeois and their ordered government. I show that everyone is looking for the same: To please others and finding someone who is of the same mind; to change devastation into excitement. My work shows our world which is full of drugs, sex, loneliness and sorrow, lively and vivid. It includes oil-paintings, drawings, photographs and text. You can read the drawings as comic strips. They are presented in a black box that shall replace the computer screen. To convey the internet surreal and 'untouchable', I laminated the drawings to create distance.
