Art between naivety and the seriousness of life:

As a child, I painted a lot with (colored) pencils and acrylics. Since I was 17, I have found further means of expression with oil paints on large canvases.

My style is characterized by contrasting colors and a youthful charm. In doing so, I am always looking for new color combinations.

Through figurative paintings and portraits, I document the hidden escapism in our modern society - in works like "Aperol" and "Physically Present," the pursuit of happiness through cheap pleasures such as alcohol and social media is thematized. They are inspired by my own experiences and those of my social environment.

In contrast, I also create abstract paintings with luminous oil pastel chalk, which remind me of the simplicity of childhood with their cheerful patterns and colors.

So my art is - just like me - torn between childish naivety and the seriousness of life.
