I am a contemporary abstract painter, based in Brandenburg/Germany.

For a long time, painting was not the plan. I moved through different lives, roles and ideas of who I was supposed to be before art slowly became the one place where I felt completely free.

I started painting in 2018, without really understanding what was happening in the process. Over time, painting became more and more important to me, but it took years before I began to recognize the deeper patterns within the work — the way layers, movement, material and intuition were carrying something I could not yet name.

Most paintings start with something small — a color, a movement, a texture,
a sudden impulse — and then begin to lead me somewhere I could not have planned.

I work in layers. Things appear, disappear, are covered, scratched open, transformed. Sometimes an earlier trace stays visible. Sometimes something I thought was gone returns much later in a completely different form.

I do not always understand a painting while I am making it. Often I understand it much later. Sometimes years later.

That is part of what fascinates me. A painting can hold something before I have words for it.
