Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Kythereia. Homeric Hymn 5 to Aphrodite I am fascinated by the myth of the old greek gods. They are full of deceit, violence and passion. They are also about following your heart and desires at whatever costs, and with the greeks gods, the costs are usually steep. In our society they can even appear disturbing and offensive, a fact that draws me to them and something that I want to reflect in my art. In this painting you can see Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty and lust, enjoying time with her swans. A present from Zeus.

Bio. I am a German artist, born and raised in a small city near Berlin. I studied Architecture in Germany, worked and lived in England and Spain and travelled around the world before settling in Malaysia in 2016. I studied Fine Art at the Equator College in Penang, Malaysia, where I have graduated valedictorian. I opened my own studio in March 2021 in Georgetown, Penang and am now working full time as an Artist. What I do. In my practice, I explore how emotions can be translated unto a canvas through figurative art and portraiture. My work is highly personal and reflects on emotions or trauma that i need to release into the world. I like to describe my work as little mirrors reflecting part of my being into the real world. The urge to free myself of conventions and the norm of what beauty and health(mental or physical) is, expresses itself through my ever evolving body of art. Interpretation of emotions by means of producing artwork is one of my driving motivations and has followed me throughout my whole art journey. As much as this is my passion and the thought that drives me forward, it is also my biggest frustration and obsession. I love this juxtaposition, as there is always more to discover and explore. In order to bring me closer to finishing an artwork, I let myself be guided by my intuition and what I perceive the painting to be requiring of me. I love watching the artwork grow through the application of new layers. It thrills me to to see how they disappear, change and grow. After completion, the old and unrefined still shines through, but only after closer inspection. My main medium is oil on canvas or board as it allows me the most flexibility and freedom in creating. My style is characterised by the depths I create through a multitude of layers of paint as well as hard and visible brushstrokes. A strong contrast of clean and dirty colours as well as a reduced colour palette are also qualities of my work. In the end, every artwork I produce is a piece of me that is forever trapped in its state, but on the contrary I am, in my human nature, forever evolving and moving forward in my explorations.
