Artist's Statement
I approach my paintings with an open mind, allowing them to evolve organically rather than following a pre-planned concept. Guided by the fluid movement of paint on canvas or paper, I let inspiration emerge from the colors themselves. Influenced by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, I explore the expressive character of colors and their emotional impact.
Through a dynamic interplay of layers, form, and metamorphosis, images take shape—landscapes, people, and memories surface from a deeper level of consciousness, transforming into dreamlike realities. My work invites viewers to explore and expand their own imagination, discovering new meanings within the interplay of color and form.
Merging my passions for painting and yoga, I created "Wearable Art," bringing my artwork to life on yoga leggings and bags.
