Biography

Some experiences haven‘t changed. I‘m sure that man has always walked along the shore and cleansed his soul and mind in the salty air, enjoyed the constant movement of water, endless patterns of waves and the soothing of their recurring, meditative sounds. It is these very basic experiences that connect us to the feeling of belonging to a greater universe and knowing that everything is a part of everything ( or, we are all made of stardust). I focus on showing how man is a part of nature, in fact we ARE nature, and that we should stay in contact with it – despite, or especially in the age of technical evolution. This unites all people of the world and brings us back to a simplified understanding of our unique, and yet common beginning.

Painting, for me, is a process which begins with a rather chaotic state and gradually develops into a painting in which my picture idea, weaves its way through to the surface and becomes visible or perceptible. It reminds me of a speeded-up process of evolution. Paint is applied in different ways, with different instuments – sometimes diluted or in pure, solid form. During the initial stage, the element of chance allows a playful approach.  As the picture proccess progresses, the paintbrush becomes the main tool.
