“During the painting process, my mind is entangled between our world today and its complex histories. My paintings stem from my imagination that is nonetheless entrapped in the perplexing imagery of the prehistoric caves of Lascaux, the paintings of Giacometti, and the timelessness of Surrealism. The Heroes exhibition of Georg Baselitz I saw in Rome in 2017 has had the most powerful impact on me.” —Carmen Marin
