Literature
"I think passion is born from a longing for the moment when we were surprised by our own power and agency. It's a chasing after the feeling we had then; a desire to impress ourselves anew - in this sense, sports and art are very close to each other.
For several years, the base of my paintings has been human silhouettes imprinted on black backgrounds. Celebrating Barbara Sobotta, I have reflected the entire length of the canvas - accentuating the lack of beginning and end of the race. Each successive figure is simply a better version of herself."
