ABOUT

Thick layers of paint, loose strokes, charcoal and pastels that crumble against the surface.

​

Photographs as figurative anchors within abstract landscapes.

 

Old books, forgotten lecture notes, crumpled maps of Berlin and Rome. Postcards with warm greetings, sticky notes and shopping lists, outdated posters torn from lampposts, Indian news magazines, and French newspapers.

 

For me these are treasures—objects that give the work structure, create unexpected forms, and carry stories of lived lives: sorrow and joy, war and peace, melancholy and gratitude.

 

I paint to hold on to what has been, to process what is, and to find strength for what is coming. My works emerge in the space between light and darkness.

 

Each piece is an exploration of inner and outer landscapes—my own, but also those of many others. Personal, yet not private. Perhaps something to recognize, or to pause and wonder at.

 

Playfulness and abstraction, vibrant colours and energetic strokes, radiant joy underlined by a subtle seriousness. That is me—often accompanied by good coffee and jazz.
