painting and drawing

german/swedish artist, born in 1972 in Stade, Germany . Since studying at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts in Stanley Brouwn’s class, I have been working with ways of representing emotions. These are reflected as variations of facial expressions and gestures initially on an elementary communication level before taking actions on a more private level or motivate social structures. I am working between figuration and abstraction. Applied in multiple layers, often translucent, vibrating colors. Lines and gradients form the reductionist starting point of my associatively effective depictions of human figures.
