My work spans the disciplines of painting, sculpture, and drawing. I combine various techniques and materials to explore my themes in a multilayered way.<\/p>\n

A recurring motif in my art is animal-like figures staged in situations that humans might also experience. This estrangement \u2013 the animalistic \u2013 creates a distance that opens up new perspectives. A serious scene may appear softened or even humorous, while at the same time revealing a deeper truth. Alongside these abstract creatures, I also portray real human figures, which leads me to describe my work as a form of imaginative realism or surreal narrative space.<\/p>\n

My often large-scale works appear from a distance as cohesive compositions with clear narrative structures. Yet up close, finer details emerge: in my paintings, a fabric-like texture becomes visible \u2013 created through scraping and reworking layers of paint. In my sculptures, the material seems homogeneous from afar, but upon closer inspection, one discovers hand-sewn textile fragments embedded into the papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9. This depth of detail adds an additional dimension of perception and opens up new levels of meaning.<\/p>\n

Technically, my works are elaborate and complex. I layer paint, scrape, and overpaint to uncover what was hidden. My figurative sculptures, made from papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 and hand-crafted textile elements, also evolve through a long and intricate process. There are conceptual connections between the different forms of expression within my work. Many of my works evolve over years and reflect personal experiences as well as the moods and atmospheres of their time.<\/p>\n

I use art as a means to gain deeper insights into the nature of human experience. The figures I depict either relate to one another or confront the viewer directly. They are narrative yet never fully decipherable. My creative process is experimental and reflective: often preceded by sketches, linguistic explorations, or research. The choice of technique is guided by the content \u2013 aiming to capture moods and questions with subtle precision.<\/p>\n
