Civil disobedience was the topic on which I wrote my final thesis at law school. Even back then the choice of topic reflected my interest in the many faces of justice. In my paintings I interpret the figure of the goddess of justice through Janus faces. One can see that in these paintings Justitia has two faces with legality and justice seeking their place within them. My disobedient giants are Justitia’s little helpers who through their actions provoke socially important debates about the boundaries of justice. My figures may be critical, feisty, provocative and curious, even humorous, but I hope that they are always non-violent. My disobedient giants include Justitia’s helper in the Arctic as well as Justitia’s headstrong daughter who balances the relationship between law and anarchy in her play.
