’’It takes more effort to stay irresponsible for a long time then to grow into an adult. Victims of the Peter Pan Syndrome have the opposite problem; they make sure that they just can’t escape the irresponsibility. It starts out young by typical innocent rebellions but quietly mushrooms into their adult lifestyle’’.

''Romanticism was a wave in the late 18th century which really grasped back upon the past and ‘what has been’. There was a huge denial against the thought of progression and everything evolved around the great ‘nostalgic past’. A lot of this ‘romantic-wave’ existed out of de idealization of fragments of the Middle Ages. Why? Because it was perceived as one of the most pure, noble and idyllic periods (since the whole west of Europe and England were under one Church: Christendom)''.

''Basically Romanticism and the Medieval times were inseparable. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to why I always use these Medieval objects like towers, lances/weapons, devices and flags/banners in my work. They don’t function as an ode to those specific times (as original Romanticism did), but rather to my own nostalgic times, which in the end romanticized those original times too (child stories about the knight and princess etc.)''.

''There has always been an almost Calvinistic attitude towards putting in the Medieval imagery in every work during my process of the past year(s)''.
