ABOUT
I’m a painter based in the Kreativquartier in Munich
STATEMENT
For me, art is a form of positive conflict – a constant confrontation, often with myself. In my paintings, I ask questions without offering answers, inviting the viewer to search for their own.
Much of my work begins with thoughts, texts, and inner questions – shaped by longing, experience, and vision. Sometimes it's about holding a moment; sometimes it’s a form of resistance. Layer by layer, I create pieces where language, surface, and emotion collide – often raw, direct, and unfiltered.
In my studio at Kreativquartier Munich, clarity and chaos, closeness and distance, aesthetics and vulnerability are in constant interplay. The play of colors, textures, and forms is my way of discovering and reflecting on myself. I follow my intuition, starting with scribbles and spontaneous gestures – capturing the moment, honestly and in motion.
