Only Lovers 3 Painting

I was born in 1972, Munich, Germany and grew up as a half-Korean Bavarian native in southern Bavaria near the Alps. After a medical PhD, a PR degree and raising three daughters to self-confident, responsible and diverse human beings, I decided to turn my passion for art into profession. This unique combination is the base of my artwork that evolves around “identity” as main theme. In my work I capture visions and mystical creatures from a land between dreaming and awakening. These invite the viewer to dive into their own identity and search for their forgotten ability of magical thinking. A place where no self-imposed borders exist, a moment back in time, where the view of life is clear and unbiased. I am the creator of the #bagabonds, an international social media art project for diversity. My artwork has been shown in Berlin, Munich, Seoul, Salzburg and Lahti.

 Artists such as Moebius (aka Jean Giraud), Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are), Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away's Journey to the Magic Land), Astrid Lindgren (Ronja Robber's Daughter), Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince) spiritually inspire me, Käthe Kollwitz, Cy Twombly, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Niki de Saint Phalle, Alex Kanevsky, Jenny Saville inspire my in terms of their creative work.
