Catching the essence

Art with something to say.
What do you see, what do you feel ?

TRANSFORMING VIEWPOINTS

Art asks questions, leads into conversation, unleashes ideas. It wants to be explored and discovered. I invite you to do so.

THE PROCESS

I let myself be guided, work intuitively. My search movement in the working process penetrates thereby less from the surface, from shades, colours and areas into the depth, but rather vice versa. I allow my paintings to grow.
Everything that moves me - emotions, social, societal but also personal issues - flows into my painting.

I experiment with different materials, applying the paint layer by layer in glazes. The light that penetrates the various layers and is reflected from the depths thus becomes part of the work.

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

-Rumi

AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF WILD SPACES

Travelling, getting to know cultures, experiencing nature, these are the sources of my inspiration. I see the connection I feel with nature as a gift. I want to protect and preserve it, not only for my children. I also want to give something back. That's why I'm donating a percentage of the profits from selected works to various organizations working to preserve our environment and biodiversity.

VIEW MY ART IN YOUR SPACE

Having trouble imagining my art in your space? Just drop me a line to request a mock-up. All I need is a frontal photo of the wall where the artwork will hang and the dimensions of any furniture or objects that will be visible.

I will then mount the painting in your photo. This way you can see how the painting will look in its final location.

All Is Vanity: The Language of Vanitas in Art

She sits completely still. The room is dark; only the faint glow of a candle falls on her face, and even that seems to be fading. Georges de La Tour often painted Mary Magdalene in a state of self-forgetful devotion. He depicts transience in a very restrained manner. The same applies to Magdalena with the smoking flame. There is not much more than a skull on Mary Magdalene's lap and a dying flame. Yet it encapsulates what vanitas paintings have depicted for centuries: an awareness of transience and the desire to express it. What is Vanitas? In Latin, vanitas originally
