I explore the theme of dissociation. I use a variety of painterly techniques to capture fleeting moments of alienation and depict them in female portraits.
MessageI am a freelance artist and designer working on the theme of dissociation, especially in relation to perception and identity. I work with different painting techniques on paper, wood and canvas. Oil paint, acrylic, watercolor and ink are used depending on the needs of the individual image. This creates works that capture and preserve fleeting moments of alienation. Sometimes my works seem light and ethereal, sometimes they convey a heavy, oppressive atmosphere. Yet each work is in its own way a portrait of sorts. During the creative process, I enter into a dialogue, a debate, a negotiation with the women portrayed as slivers of myself.
I was born in 1990 and have been working as a freelance artist and designer since 2017. I also design stage sets and have been featured in the 2019 Berliner Festspiele with "Reich der Wörter" in collaboration with Cactus Junges Theater. I am also the permanent visual artist behind the Münster-based post-punk band Wolftananzug. I am part of the collective "Khaos Fucktory" founded in 2022. For the past three years I have been involved in the board of Hawerkamp 31 e.V., a self-managed art and culture venue, where I also regularly design exhibition concepts and have worked as a curator. In 2022, I founded the "Alternative Kreativwerkstatt für Frauen" (Alternative Creative Workshop for Women), where I offer women the opportunity to exchange ideas and dedicate themselves to their creative projects in my studio at Hawerkamp.
