THE PROJECT

In this project I use various chemical compounds mixed with liquid colours to create abstract art pieces. Starting with experimentation to see what reaction each compound generates, I then add a second compound and then a third and so on.

The result is a collection of surreal ‘reactions’ portraits. Some may remind us of famous paintings such as Munch’s or Klimt’s and others resemble surreal colourful cloud formations.

Ultimately these images are a metaphor of our lives: it is healthy to experiment and sometimes open the door to the unknown. Although some results will not bring us anywhere, others may help us discover and create new impressions we didn’t imagine were possible.
