To transport the deep sensations out of the inner imagination – this is the beginning of the process of creating my paintings, in which often human beings are the focus. Momentary impressions, which are deeply memorised, are the basis for the painting process. Layer by layer sensed, elaborated, viewed, but also rejected and re-developed.

With the same intensity and sensitivity, I open up my new series Nature and show details and facets with my eyes, with my senses.
