In this 'paint on glass' series the emphasis lies on the attempt to approach the visual qualities of the digital image as experienced on a smartphone. The digital aesthetics is an end in itself as well as a way to rethink the visual practice that in many ways seems outdated or challenged by digital technology.

The directness of the digital image is approximated through the creative process; the paint is poured on the surface (almost swiping) and all interference has been reduced to paint on plexiglass.The intention is to evoke a direct emotional experience with feeling for 3 dimensionality without involving an underlying process.
