ABOUT

Painting has always had an almost meditative influence on me. It is a process of diving into myself and looking for something that fascinates me so much that I want to share it with my outside world. Creating art became a vision for me to show people what lies dormant in them, what wants to be expressed. In each of us hides an enormous power that is just waiting to be discovered.

​

In challenging times I intuitively found inspiration in nature and meditation or in the combination of both. I did a lot of hiking in the mountains and took yoga classes. The mental image of associating with the mountain helped me to find my peace and inner strength again and to center my focus. Because the mountain was already there millions of years before us. Whether it's pouring rain, whether a snowstorm sweeps over it, whether the summer sun shines on its rugged surface, the mountain is simply there. It survives whatever happens. Every mountain is unique, invincible and of infinite strength and calm. That fascinates me so much that I try to capture these emotions in my work.  When we overcome great challenges, we usually overcome ourselves. It is as if there is a mountain in each of us that needs to be discovered. It exudes incredible strength, but also an aloofness that can intimidate you. It is my vision that my art enables people to identify with the strength of the mountains, to be inspired by them and to find them within themselves.
