I see you. Painting

I was born on a Thursday morning in the winter of 1986 in what was back than the East of Germany. Since then I lived in four different countries in Europe. I currently work and live in Florence, Italy. In my artwork, I am layering texture and color, overwrite and illustrate, paint and surface evolve into something new. The inspiration lies in the truth of life (in memories, stories, poetry underlined with music, family, and friends). Reflecting the emotions of the past, the present and the hopes of the future. My process involves overpainting my writing with different mediums, to show just little part and the essentials, to give you us the viewer space to feel and think for yourself, to have your own experience. It is the relationship between the words and the emotions which they reflexed that drives my artwork and colors the pages. I want to give you the possibility to see what I can see, without forcing you in a specific direction and with all the time and space you need. Artist statement: "We as artists carry a responsibility to the once we paint but also to the once we share our art with and each time we give a little bit more of ourselves."
