Painting as a process

In my work, I focus on color, form, and surface rather than storytelling or representation. Between informal art and abstract expressionism, structured, layered color surfaces with a noticeable texture emerge.

I’m interested in the tension between control, intuition and chance. It is precisely this fragile area where the paintings begins to develop a life of its own. Layer by layer, something emerges that was not planned. I work in a process-oriented manner, without a fixed idea of the result. What counts is the moment when something becomes tangible.

My paintings are not answers. They open up spaces for one’s own perception and imagination, sometimes powerful, sometimes quiet. They do not arise purely from a desire for decoration, but from the need to make visible something that cannot be put into words.

I do not follow any school or style in the strict sense. I follow what feels honest in the moment. I’m very familiar with the demand for perfection. In art, however, I’m attracted to the uncontrolled, something that cannot be planned. I had to learn to allow this over the years, but it opens up a whole new world.
