As an artist , I explore image worlds between reality and fiction, academic tradition and popular culture. I use different media, with a particular focus on oil painting from the outset. In my paintings a variety of everyday objects come together , such as excepts from magazines, withered flower bouquets or toy action figures, which, however, have no narrative connection.

For a long time, the concept of beauty has occupied me, reflected in flawless faces and bright colors , but repeatedly interrupted by a melancholy that points to the transience of the outer appearance. A reflection of contemporary issues , filtered through my personal experience and enriched by a diverse repertoire of art history viewing habits, describes my concern for my current artistic work.

Always being on the lookout to incorporate the unforeseeable, and finding expression for emotions on the canvas that cannot be replaced by words, makes the creative process so challenging and unique.
