“I could give a color to everything”

From an early age, I began to express my inner feelings through line and color on paper. My first works reflected a deep, intuitive connection between emotion and visual language – I gave form to thoughts, and later, color. As part of the “Exceptionally Gifted” program, I was accepted at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW), where I studied, among other things, color theory with Prof. Gudenau and deepened my understanding of color and composition. After graduating, I began to experiment with various painting techniques. I found my preferred forms of expression particularly in oil and acrylic painting. My themes revolve around the human being – their depth, their silence – as well as landscapes and horizons that open space for contemplation and vastness. I combine precise observation with a poetic view of what lies between the lines. My paintings tell stories – quiet, intense, and full of feeling.
