Image description:
This picture tells the story of what comes after a difficult time.
The calm, clear strip at the bottom acts as a boundary – like a threshold one passes through. Above it, the picture literally explodes with colour, movement and life. It is a visual outpouring of joy, of hope, of something greater than what came before.
The multitude of colours represents a joy that is neither small nor tentative, but overwhelming. A joy so great that we can scarcely comprehend it beforehand.
The artwork serves as a reminder: what we have had to endure is not the end of the story. Ahead of us lies something that transcends everything – a joy greater than any suffering we have ever experienced.

I work intuitively – my paintings take shape in the moment, driven by my feelings. Colours, shapes and lines flow onto the canvas without any plan. I love the playful and the spontaneous. This often results in vibrant, colourful works that have a childlike quality – carefree, open and warm-hearted.
My art is meant to move people, but not overwhelm them. I want to bring a smile to the viewer’s face, a feeling of warmth and comfort. Perhaps to bring back a little lightness to an often noisy, complicated world.
As well as painting, I also work with analogue photography – a conscious focus on small, genuine moments. I capture simple, everyday situations that are usually overlooked. For me, art is a place where I am free – and that is exactly what I want to convey.
