ABOUT
ARTIST STATEMENT
Für den Text auf Deutsch bitte hier klicken.Through paintings and sculptures I give form to immaterial forces that shape our lives. My intuitive visual language draws upon current research in cosmology, physics, and mythology.
The works inhabit the space between figuration and abstraction, allowing perception to take precedence over fixed narrative. Colour, surface, and gesture convey my emotional intention.
My practice is an investigation of the parallels between the universal and the personal, suggesting that the same energy shaping galaxies also pulses within each of us.
