I focus on depicting places and structures which are hard to define, spaces of ambiguous identity, functioning beyond linear time, between reality and fiction. In my paintings, I try to build absurd ‘game structures’ by deconstructing classical perspective rules, constructing illogical, enclosed labyrinthine structured spaces. I am interested in associations between nature and technology, especially ‘technical’ way of presenting nature in early computer games.
