For my works I use self-stretched canvases. By covering the canvas, the process of painting feels holistic to me. I already get a feeling for the emerging work. I leave the fabric of the canvas untreated and paint mainly with acrylic paints and pastels. I also use different artists' pencils from time to time. A great source of inspiration when painting is the access to myself, the contact to other people and the experiences, the music. It always plays a big role for me when I paint.

les amis

The 'les amis' series is inspired by wonderful friends and loved ones around me. They are the people who accompany me in a wide variety of situations, through which I can grow and experience beautiful moments. With good friends by your side, everything is just that little bit easier. For these works I used acrylic paints on self-covered canvases canvases.

les chemins

The first works in this series were created in Münster in early 2023. They embody the thought of the meaning of our paths in life. Again and again these change, again and again we come to junctions and have to decide on a direction. Sometimes people accompany us for a long time or for most of our lives. Sometimes it is time to say goodbye to each other on these paths to make room for something new. How did you perceive your previous paths? How do you look at goodbyes and new beginnings?

la nuit

The works in this series are dreamy, wild and a bit darker. For me they are a kind of mirror of the dreams and wishes that we always carry within us when we embark on new paths and possibilities.
