Artist Statement:
After painting years (since
1982) traditional oil
paintings, mostly portraits
and still life, I started
experimenting with clay
sculptures in 1990 to find
something new. Modeling tiny
figures in clay, I started
using those miniature
sculptures as models to my
paintings. By 1990-91 I had
created my own ism: MARUism- "
Manifestations Animées dans la
Réalité Unique ".
Human relations, meetings,
feelings and everyday
happenings metamorphosed into
animal-like forms in colourful
worlds, expressed in a kind of
subconscious world between
Dalí and Disney with a touch
of Gauguin.
