Technique:

Sichi's use of material is an important expressive technique in his work.

Pre-made transparent elements, which have been fabricated by pouring acrylic medium into wax moulds using a self-developed process, are afterwards pasted on linen or Plexiglas. These transparent reliefs combine in varying ways with acrylic paint.

Some paintings are totally colorless and appear to exist only out of light, light that shines directly through the work and thus forming an image. In other paintings the transparent embossment is pasted on the supporting ground as a second painting, nonetheless integrating the material. These "double meanings" create a play between the image on the Plexiglas and the underlying paintings, which is about 3 centimeters underneath.

Always central to his imagery, is the human being struggling with his own thoughts.
