experimental - painting - photography - language

A continuous movement
where everything dances and screams
is only a colorful appearance
on an actually white Tabula rasa

My current work is a collection of different moments, experiences and observations. I look for forms for both the visible (seeing) and the invisible (feelings, thoughts, sound, smells). This mainly manifests itself on canvas, where I merge different media. Painting, photography and language predominate here. Each medium has its own quality and shapes the visible or the invisible. Together they form one image that for me forms a more total representation of my experience of reality.
