learn more about my work and art
passion for painting
for me, painting is what is. the state, the feeling in which one is. also what wants to be mine. the longing, the need or the self-image. the expression and the desire for it. the calm, the knowledge of the here and the now. the form that you can indulge in. only to be absorbed in this connection and to feel one's soul, the present as a reward for itself. to have all of this yourself in the moment is magical, even if the answers become personal knowledge in the specially created art. and when this realization in the work becomes questions for the viewer, then the art is where it belongs best and no longer with me, but furthermore with the person claiming to it,
why i paint
certain sections of my life were very intense and still continue as a permanent learning curve, for which i received therapeutic support. the disposition to empower people to get something out of themselves, on their own, is my claim as a social worker. before, i felt that i had to take care of everything and to have everything in control. in this time of existential questions and burdens, art, be it music, photography and painting, was always a way to develop a personal view of my own reality. that i can communicate it that way and work from the inside out was an important step towards self-love for me. i think you always paint what you are and making it public is a hug to yourself that lasts forever. it means "i stand by you, i will follow you. i am connected to you and no matter how you rate it, i love you." before that was unimaginable for me and now i have my followers, my fellow artists and the community. i am seen for what i am and experience feedback, recognition, criticism and sometimes i am even allowed to spread inspiration. there is nothing more sublime for me, because it comes from the people inside and they want to proactively stand up for themselves, draw from themselves. in addition, they would like to accept something that flowed from my deepest soul for themselves. this is the highest achievement for me as a human and as an artist.
my styles
my topics relate to my view, i am in my frame of reference and let myself be inspired, driven, researched and opened up to things that touch, interest me or that i question. this is how i work from the inside out. i am touched by people and their stories, to capture their soul and their expression. above all, their very personal shine that they leave behind in the heart is what drives my need for capturing it. for this i can use my appropriate expression through my spray paint style. when I try to be abstract or want to portray a person in their essence, in their appearance, line art is my pure form of representation. the line art is so beautiful and always a journey for me, because I have to internalize the detail of the object / person in their entirety in order to deconstruct it and develop it for me. only when i really know and feel how something is related i can create my reality. the minimalist lines in particular are what literally make it what it is and what drives me. in order to open up the details and especially the expression, i have my colored art, in which i really want to find every little specialty and i am only too happy to see it as a whole as an interplay. all of my styles of visual art are incredibly liberating and help me to find my balance, but also to find my expression. to be able to have the photography and the music as an art form in addition is more than wonderful.
grading and condition
i think art itself should be rewarded with itself, so i don't paint primarily to paint, but to have the condition. to be completely in the here and the now, to feel totally connected to everything and not think consciously - just let yourself be guided, ride the wave until it breaks and just "be", to be in your form.
passion for photography
i love photography since my younger days, just like drawing. to set the desire for it to a more profound, aesthetic standard. i love the idea of a life long learning. photography and art ist all about taking your view in the world, how you perceive things. what feelings your want to express and share. to create momentum for what is now and how you came to this point leading all the way to your creation. to the output. the awareness, the mindfulness and the impulse to follow your heart, the flow you give yourself in and have the courage to be still. to experience just yourself and the connection around you in the moment. the here and the now. click. an everlasting moment to capture. to have this focus in life and to be all by yourself in your very own river of joy - to me, that is the beauty and essence of art.
