With body painting, I explore the creative process with trust in the body’s intelligence and intuition. I trust the body knows.

I have explored the body’s intelligence for a decade through the 5Rhythms method and occasionally with Gurdjieff’s dances. The Dancer, the heist form of body intelligence, intuitively knows, as I name the ultimate embodied consciousness. She knows the painting.

These abstract works, my body paintings, urge the viewer to experience them with the body because the mind has nothing to see in them. I believe such a gesture of creation is subversive for me and the viewers, because if we want to meet them, we have to move our focus to the body.  

Body painting has become my spiritual practice, meditation and rite of transformation – where the creative process always chooses the motif, theme, colours and lines. This is the ritual in which the Dancer is manifested on canvas, and it also urges the viewers to become the Dancer. In dance, the art can be met.
