My work begins with a question.
Beauty and ugliness, humanity and nature, life and death – for me, these are not opposites, but two sides of the same coin.
I enjoy observing people.
When I lived in Berlin, I often sketched people on the underground or on the train. This woman was one of them.
I no longer remember every detail of her face. What has stayed with me is the feeling she left me with.
Some people seem cold. Some seem loud. Some fade from memory straight away. This woman was warm.
When I draw, my aim isn’t to depict people exactly as they are. Rather, I try to capture what I felt whilst observing them. That’s why colours and shapes change. A person gradually becomes an impression.
Perhaps I draw people because I’m curious about them. Or perhaps I draw them to find out something about myself.
Shipping:
The artwork will be sent framed – securely packed with padding – including a certificate of authenticity and a signature on the reverse.

I work intuitively – often faster than I can think. A colour, a line, a material – and suddenly the work takes a direction I hadn’t planned. That’s exactly when it gets interesting.
My drawings and paintings are full of bodies, faces, creatures – often all at once.
That’s me. Different versions of myself: the gentle one, the violent one, the absurd one. I’m interested in where the boundaries between human and nature, between beautiful and ugly, between life and death actually lie – and whether they really exist. I tend not to think so. Beauty and ugliness, light and dark, joy and pain – for me, these aren’t opposites, but two sides of the same coin. In my work, I don’t try to separate them – but to make them visible together.
If someone looks at my work and thinks, ‘What on earth is that?’ – then I’ve got it right. I enjoy working most when I find myself having to laugh a little at what I’ve just created. Strange, but somehow beautiful – that’s what I want to create.
