STATEMENT

"Powerful, dynamic, and full of energy. With an intense vibrancy that touches and moves the viewer directly." – That’s how I would describe my paintings if I had to do in two sentences.


Throguh my work I aim to release energy and spark impulses in the viewer that extend beyond the canvas. Through the visual power of my work, a space emerges where perception and emotion connect: The viewer responds not only rationally, but emotionally. The energy, dynamism, and expression of my works immediately engage the viewer and unfold their impact – both in the surrounding space and within.


My work is an expression of vitality and inner strength. It thrives on contrasts and tension: The viewer enters a dynamic interplay of chaos and order, impulse and control, lightness and depth.


Artistic creation for me is a space of freedom and expression – a place where I follow my intuition and give shape to imagination. It fulfills me to create something new; unique works that have never existed before. Painting is a vibrant, creative process that continually challenges, inspires, and excites me.


I usually begin spontaneously – from a mood, an impulse, or the desire to work with a specific color or technique. In dialogue with the painting, a story begins to unfold – shaped by the works expression, form, and the emotions it evokes. External influences also flow into this process: personal themes, social trends, current affairs – all of it is interconnected. With my titles, I try to capture this story without limiting the viewer’s freedom of interpretation.


On the technical side, I explore contrasts and bring them into dialogue: color meets non-color, line meets area, light meets darkness, emptiness meets fullness. These fields of tension are my experimental ground. I often work in large formats because I need space – space for movement, for energy, for the unpredictable. Every brushstroke is a decision, every moment an impulse. It is an intense, physical process in which I surrender to the flow while consciously shaping it.


Although my works are abstract, they evoke associations. Some recall nature, landscapes, or the sea – places that ground us and help us reconnect with ourselves, places essential to our being. Others suggest emotional spaces tied to feelings like safety, love, or comfort. My paintings do not depict but suggest – creating and leaving room for personal associations.


Those who engage with my work may discover not only my artistic signature, but something of their own – something that touches, moves, and stays."
