About this artwork
In my work ZUGENEIGT, I show the hidden, fragile beauty and the intimacy between two people. The lines that lie like a veil over the faces are for me like the barriers that we often unconsciously build around ourselves - they hide, shield and at the same time create new dimensions. But through these stripes, through this conscious distortion, the essential becomes visible: the emotion, the softness, the vulnerability. The golden accents seem almost…
like broken pieces of mirror - they reflect light and seem like fragments of the soul that venture out into the open and seek a deep connection.
ZUGENIEGT is a work that speaks of closeness - of tender touch, of cautious approach. Every brushstroke, every stripe, every golden trace speaks of longing, of revelation and of the courage to turn to another person without knowing whether one is seen. Pantone Color of the Year 2025 Mocha Mousse.

« The more curious we are, the more creative we become »
My work explores the tension between identity, body, concealment, and transformation.
I don't understand painting as a representation, but as a space for inner movement. As a place where that which cannot be captured becomes visible.
I work in series that develop organically during the process, not from pre-existing concepts. Material plays a central role: acrylic, texture, gold leaf, platinum, and mixed media are not merely decorative elements, but carriers of meaning.
Concealment is not a retreat. It is a deliberate act. It creates distance, protection, and a new way of reading.
Faces and bodies do not appear as surfaces for identification, but rather as spaces for projection. I understand identity not as a state, but as a process, characterized by the tension between visibility and withdrawal.
