The series Celestial Screens is inspired by distant vistas of urban areas and the view of the sky illuminated by city lights, particularly at night when artificial light dissolves the boundaries between reality and ideation. The painting process and its process of reduction yields but few reference points, if anything what remains are memories – a notion of the night and its vague, seductive aspect.
The light dynamics in the paintings, in the context of the exhibition of the same name, appears to be a reference of sorts to how light is dealt with in ecclesiastical paintings.
