About me

Even as a child, I often lived in my own world. While others played outside, I would lose myself in daydreams and stories, paint the walls of my bedroom, or create little universes out of whatever I could find.

People often told me I had a vivid imagination. At the same time, for a long time I found it hard to feel truly comfortable around large groups of people. I was rather quiet and observant, and my peers often saw me as strange. But in art class, everyone would suddenly gather around my desk, watching me draw and admiring my pictures.

It wasn't until many years after school, inspired by my child's art supplies — a large box of colored pencils in countless shades — that I began painting again.

Over the years, I immersed myself in wisdom teachings, Buddhism, spirituality, and the question of why so much suffering exists on our planet. I observed a great deal — the world, other people, but also myself. Over many years, I encountered a wide variety of people and their stories.

Always driven by the desire to offer impulses that help people recognize their true purpose. To me it is clear that we all carry this sacredness within us, connected to everything — beyond space and time.

Once we become aware of that, we stop acting destructively, whether on a small or a large scale.

I like to work with contrasts, opposites, and extremes.

The raw power of nature. Archaic. Loud. Immense. Like the Big Bang, a volcanic eruption, a hurricane, or scenes of the apocalypse. Forces that create life and destroy it at the same time.

And the exact opposite:

The finest lines and gentle details, stillness, the colors of the sun and the sky. Essential joy of life.

We were born of extremes. Nature itself consists of them. Of chaos and order. Of rawness and beauty. Of immense energy and, at the same time, incredible delicacy.

My works are not meant to soothe. They are meant to move people in a way that can change the world — starting with every single viewer. Because that is the only place where change is possible: in each and every one of us.

We constantly lose ourselves in the noise of this world — in fear, distraction, reaction, and endless rumination and judgment.

My art arises from the need to break this cycle.

Not as a fleeting moment or consumable spirituality. Away from the surface, into the deepest depths of the human soul, where light and darkness meet in love.
