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.
This picture was inspired by an observation I made in Berlin.
It looked as though someone was waiting for another person.
I don’t know if that was really the case.
But people often have a different expression on their face when they’re waiting.
I like moments like that.
I’m more interested in the moments in between than in the moments when something actually happens.
Waiting is strange.
Nothing is actually happening, and yet part of us is already somewhere else.
Perhaps that’s why I painted this picture.
Not because of the person themselves, but because of the atmosphere of waiting that surrounded them.

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.
