Description of the artwork:
The painting depicts an abstract, flowing composition of overlapping layers of colour. The colours develop layer by layer and build up slowly. This build-up is a deliberate symbol of patience. Development does not happen all at once, but requires time, tranquillity and a gradual process.
The true beauty of the painting lies in the soft transitions. It arises precisely through this slow growth and by allowing time to take its course. Patience is revealed here as something valuable, because it enables something harmonious and coherent to develop.
In contrast, the small spots and irregularities in the picture symbolise impatience. They appear disruptive and less integrated into the overall flow of the colours. They demonstrate that impatience does not produce beautiful results, but rather disrupts the process.
The painting makes it clear that beautiful moments only arise when patience is present. Those who are impatient overlook the subtle developments and the small, gentle changes. The true quality lies in the act of waiting itself – in allowing the work to emerge layer by layer and giving the process time.

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.
