Intuitiv process painting | 2019. New painting-as-objects, some I made with natural indigo pigment and a new handmade structure paste with chalk of the Island of Rügen. Intuitiv, minimal, monochrome, silent.
Works-on-paper | 2019. Restrained, reserved, quiet, tranquil, un-disturbed – through the execution of some layers in sepia, black or gray. They do not aim to capture reality, but instead attempt to evoke emotion and contemplation of the onlooker.
Paintings-as-object | 2018. I see ‘reality’ as an organic and dynamic structure that’s constantly changing due to time passing. Trying to visualize these traces of process, isolating and capturing them, that’s truly fascinating!
Sculptures | new series 2019. It's exciting to see people touch and move the objects.

Sculptures | 2018. A series of thin, slim and graceful sculptures designed in the middle of 2018, based on ink drawings from 2017. My mentality—that art should be for everyone—motivate me to create small sculptures, perfectly sized for table tops, shelves or puristic white cubes like shown left.
Drawings | 2019. Composition in the smallest format. A series of small square drawings made with gouache and oil pastels on natural cardboard. These small drawings are compositional sketches for large-scale implementation – a big challenge for the coming months.

Stones, old wood, in dignified aged facades of walls or houses, rock formations, landscapes. This influences me when working on my sculptures and […]
The rough one
A next wooden-based sculpture, nearly two meters high, treated with chainsaw, gas burner and metal brushes. Finding the right moment to stop. Can’t wait to see the casted model, making the finishing and choosing a cool patination.
