Artist Statement :

I live and work in Cologne. Since the 1990s, I have been deeply engaged with painting and have continuously developed my artistic language. After a solid academic training and an intensive exploration of free painting, I found my independent form of expression in abstraction.

 

Today, I work with acrylic, inks, pigment, and resin, creating multilayered pictorial spaces in which inner states of tension become visible. I work in abstraction as a site of condensation.

 

My paintings emerge through layering, superimposition, and deliberate tension. Acrylic, spray paint, and resin meet controlled interventions and unpredictable processes.

 

I am not interested in the motif, but in the state.

The moment of highest energy—before something is decided.

 

Between instinct and control, chaos and order, light and darkness, an open field of tension unfolds. Luminous impulses break through reduced surfaces; structure is constructed and questioned again.
The image is not a representation.

It is an energetic state in transition.

 

My concept is the visualization of inner states—things that do not reveal themselves directly, yet can be deeply felt.

 

I do not paint things.

I paint states of being.

The invisible space between two poles—

between instinct and control, chaos and order, light and darkness.

 

It is an art of the “before.”

Of the moment when everything is possible—yet nothing has been decided.
