Artist’s Statement

My painting emerges from an interplay between memory, perception and intuition. Some paintings develop from specific impressions, whilst others arise without a fixed starting point – born of the moment.

My work is process-oriented. The painting emerges through the act of creating: through layers, breaks and decisions that often only become apparent whilst I am painting. I am less interested in the finished motif than in the state the painting finds itself in.

Figurative elements emerge and then dissolve again. Forms remain fragmentary, shift and lose their clarity. At the same time, pictorial spaces emerge that can be experienced emotionally and physically.

Colour is a central medium in this process. It is direct, intuitive and often contradictory. It conveys mood, movement and time without definitively defining anything.

My work is about transitions: between the inner and the outer, between memory and the present, between control and letting go.

The images are not definitive statements, but open states – they remain in flux.
