Berlin Marathon 2018 Painting

My art is a visual diary—a way of capturing the emotions, memories, and everyday moments that shape my life. Each piece reflects a story or experience, inviting viewers to connect with their own narratives through mine. I’ve been creating since childhood, inspired by watching my father make linoleum prints and my mother sketch nature scenes. Over the years, I’ve studied and taught art internationally, which continues to influence my style and perspective. I work mainly in oil and mixed media, drawn to the slow-drying process of oils that allows me to build expressive layers and depth. In sculpture, I use hand-built low-fire clay to explore form and emotion in a tactile, organic way. Creating art helps me process the world—and share it with others in an honest, visual language.
