As a painter it is natural to have passion for painting. And as an architect it is natural to have a fascination for space. Being both, there’s no doubt about it: I am fascinated with painting AND space, and more particularly with the way in which those two connect. I am absolutely intrigued by the use of colour in space, and by the definition of space in a painting. But I am even more curious about how they both intertwine. In a pretty ungraspable way, they flow into each other.
