Intuitive artist
Born in Germany and now living in the Netherlands, I have painted all my life, but as a perfectionist have had my struggles with my art, which lead to an almost decade long break.
During a difficult period 4 years ago, I found my way back into painting and accepted it as an essential part of me that I never want to miss again.
A mirror of myself
My artworks are a mirror of my inner world, sometimes vibrant and lively, sometimes calm and dreamy.
The way I paint is fast and intuitive, following a flow, without rules or overthinking.
This process lets me break free from doubts and fears, accepting that not everything can, or should, be controlled.
Let go and take chances
My abstract works are about letting go and taking chances, using expressive lines, marks, drops and splashes.
They are meant to evoke a sense of movement and emotion or state of mind, disguised in shapes and shadows, playing with the contrast of soft and strong layers and colours.
I use ink as my main medium, due to its versatility: surprising and unpredictable, soft or strong.

Recently I have been interviewd by New & Abstract. In this interview, I share in 5 questions my background, my way of working and the motivation and inspiration behind my work.
