I work figuratively with painting as a space for psychological presence. My motifs spring from inner experiences – dream, vulnerability, silence and concentration – and seek to give these states a concrete, bodily form.
In a time dominated by digital, smooth picture surfaces, the materiality of painting is crucial for me. Brushstrokes, texture and layered construction are not just technical choices, but carriers of meaning. The tactile surface functions as a counterbalance to the algorithmic and fleeting, and insists on physical presence – both in creation and in the encounter with the viewer.
The figure is central to my work, not as an idealized form, but as a carrier of inner tensions. I seek a quiet realism where light, value and skin tones are modeled in such a way that a sense of closeness and psychological depth arises. The silence in the motif is deliberate; it opens up for reflection rather than narrative.
An important foundation in my practice is the recognition of neurological diversity. I am concerned with highlighting human variation without romanticizing or aestheticizing it. By working outside the notion of perfection, I attempt to create a visual language where complexity and difference are given space.
For me, painting is an act of concentration and freedom. Each work is an attempt to anchor the human in something lasting and sensual – an image that is not only seen, but experienced in time and space.
