Old Attitudes

The beginnings of my painting were figurative. Even though I mainly work abstractly today, occasionally I still get concrete in my art. This applies, for example, to the species protection art that I often create in cooperation with non-profit organizations that are active worldwide. But the human body is also a motif I explore repeatedly.

My artistic approach is not to depict nude bodies, but to express attitudes and emotions, identity and intimacy.
It requires a certain degree of curiosity, sensitivity and empathy to depict more than just nudity. Every nude is always also a disclosure of biography, experience and resonance with one's own history.

In the body of works "Old Attitudes" I explore femininity, sensuality, sexuality. The subject is the ever new, expanded, constantly changing role of the woman who rubs up against old power relations. I am an observer and a person affected, letting inner views, everyday experiences and emotions flow into my paintings.

I enjoy the break with the expected. I play with that. For my double work of deconstruction and reconstruction, I use the traditional medium of watercolour and interpret it in a completely new way.
