The oil painting series "Perceptual Zones" started in 2009 is being continued with a new painting "Pandemonium" that draws attention to the top crisis hotspots of the world. "Pandemonium" will be presented in STATE: Cohort Now exhibition in Berlin.
The last exhibited piece of the series - "18° 32' N, 72° 20' W - Port-au-Prince, Haiti" - was created explicitly for the exhibition "Genesis: Art for Haiti".

The abstractions of landscapes accompanied by their factual coordinates on the "Perceptual Zones" series reflect geographical regions, contemporary states and nations´ territories as an intuitive mental image. Blueprint fragments constitute a distinctive overlay that conveys a subjective alternative scape.

Redefining perceptions often depends on individual stance, causing the series to raise the question: whether the outcome is determined by a political power, the observing individual or other factors?
