“The contradictions of life inspire me. We try to create a society of healthy individualists but end up in increased social misery.

Growing medical knowledge saves lives; when more people survive, we are faced with problems of overpopulation.

Our minds and emotions become ever more complicated; we find it increasingly difficult to experience satisfaction.

Rather than painting a realistic picture, I use childlike patterns, serial-like depictions to caricature reality and social problems. I believe that people can more easily accept criticism this way.”
