The idea of using those images came from fragmentary memories. I own this photo album, a really old one, containing pictures of my childhood. One day I noticed that I didn’t remember the exact places and the time where and when those photos were taken, or I even didn’t recognize the portrayed persons. All I had was a special feeling when I looked at them. Consequently I tried to express this special feeling by arranging the background and just putting the given photography into its place.
These Paintings are pure memories of mine and very personal.

The inspiration behind "Hide your face"  concerns how people behave and act in social situations. For example: changes in their personality, hiding their “real face” behind a mask. That really seems interesting to me and it happens all the time and around every single person.
