Artist Statement
Experiencing sensual enjoyments, love, and freedom are crucial to my artistic work.
I love and mainly paint the sea and the sky – both, especially in their variations – traditional symbols of emotions and a romantic understanding of the world and the self. The sea and the wind are the softness, that can be felt on the skin.
Working with the brush requires a lot of finesse and softness that can be seen in the painting and suit these sensual motifs.
Being at the seaside provokes a feeling of freedom and art, to me, means a liberation from the imperative to function in a world full of rules and to adapt to conformity. Art can be regarded as a feeling; similar to the feeling one has when swimming in the open water.
