I paint to reveal what lies beneath the surface. I find my inspiration in moments of stillness, in natural structures, in the play of light and movement, but also in inner processes that cannot be expressed in words. For me, art is a translation of feelings into form and color. Structure plays a special role here: It gives my paintings depth and stability, just as stability is necessary in life for new things to emerge. Using sand, marble dust, or texture paste, I create surfaces that become tangible. They invite us to experience them not only with our eyes, but also internally. I love it because painting means freedom to me. It's the place where I can let go, where chaos and clarity, wildness and calm can meet. My motivation lies in capturing this tension and opening up spaces where viewers can rediscover their own sensibilities.
