Born in Germany, I live and work in Brussels, Belgium.
I am an abstract painter who loves to learn and to experiment. My inspiration comes from photography, landscape or other impressions. My paintings are created in a process of discovery, trial and error as well as letting go. Natural materials, such as rock flours, various types of papers form the basis of my paintings, together with acrylic & ink and pigments.
My artwork basically reflects what we all experience in our lives... starting with an idea, making a plan, realising that we might need a new plan when mishaps or even mistakes happen, starting all over or taking it from there, ending up with a scar or a visible track, covering it up, re-starting again... at the end, the piece of art shows every single of those steps like our memories reflect the experiences of our lives.
Over the years, I developed another passion: Photography. I love to see the world through my camera. Sometimes I catch special moments while on other occasions a little detail gains unexpected importance.
