ARTIST STATEMENT
The beauty and magic of the imperfect, the accidental, the fractures and opposites, their balance and the perfection of nature are the driving forces behind my art and make it come alive.
For me, abstract art always has something magical about it, the mystery of which often remains hidden to the viewer and, if at all, can only be revealed upon closer inspection.
I am always fascinated by the way colors, shapes and compositions work. How abstract art influences feelings and current moods and is reciprocally related to the experiences of the respective viewer.
I love discovering new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. Since my childhood, I have enjoyed spending time in nature and traveling to unknown countries and cultures, always looking for new impressions. I observe and am inspired by the different situations, lighting moods,
colors, shapes, smells and the feelings associated with them. It is important to me to leave tourist paths in order to get to know the country and its people in an unbiased way - unadulterated, raw and authentic. Off the beaten tracks, I find true beauty in what is brittle, in the fragile, the ephemeral and the charmingly imperfect. In a world always striving for perfection, I find the seemingly imperfect with rough edges, contrasts and opposites particularly exciting.
In my paintings I preserve my collected impressions in personal snapshots in a playful and childlike way.
