Get to Know Me
Creativity has always been a part of my life – not always in the form of art, but art eventually found its way to me, at just the right moment.
As a child, sports were more important to me; painting didn’t play a big role back then. Painting stepped into my life in my early twenties. I was looking for an outlet for my thoughts and emotions – a kind of language that works without words. I started painting – entirely self-taught, driven by curiosity and the desire to make my feelings and thoughts visible.
What started as experimentation has become an essential part of my life as a mixed-media artist. Through my abstract painting, I’ve processed so much over the years: doubt, fear, joy, and euphoria. Some works are dark and chaotic, others bright and light. Each one is an expression of a feeling, a moment, an inner shift.
Here, I can be who I am. This is where I’m allowed to feel – without needing to explain. And that’s exactly what I want to share through my abstract art – images that touch something inside you, without needing to be loud.
My Goals - abstract paintings with character
I believe that abstract art can be more than just beautiful. My work is meant to transform spaces, evoke emotion, and reflect the personality of the people who live with it.
- Evoke emotion: Each mixed-media piece is meant to stir something – a thought, a memory, a smile, maybe even a tear
- Show personality: Your walls tell a story. My emotional paintings are here to help you express yours.
- Quality & aesthetics: I work with high-quality materials and a strong sense for form and color to create pieces that bring lasting joy
Thank you for being here. Maybe you’ll find a piece that speaks straight to your heart. Let yourself be inspired by my collections – and find the one artwork that enriches your space and brings it to life.
Where Ideas Become Art
I find inspiration everywhere – in nature, in moods, in music. Especially the quiet moments outdoors, whether in the forest, open fields, or by the water, help me reconnect with myself. These are often the moments where new pieces begin to take shape.
When I paint, I almost always listen to music. The sound carries me, sets the rhythm – sometimes powerful, sometimes soft. It always starts with a blank canvas. No plan, no sketch. Just emotion.
I let myself be guided. The colors often choose themselves. The textures evolve layer by layer – intuitive, spontaneous, honest.
Some works flow gently, others break out like a storm.
But each painting reflects what’s alive inside me at that moment.
„Each piece is carefully selected and crafted with attention to detail – whether originals or high-quality prints. With a variety of styles and surfaces, I offer the perfect artwork for every space.“
„For me, art is more than decoration – it is the opportunity to fill spaces with personality and emotion.“
„My goal is to create pieces that not only beautify spaces but also evoke emotions and inspire“

Partners
For fine art prints, I collaborate with selected printing partners who ensure the highest quality standards.
For my original works, I exclusively use premium materials that meet professional demands – including Amsterdam acrylic paints, Montana spray paints, and high-quality canvases and stretcher frames from trusted suppliers such as Boesner and MH&P.
This is how art is created that’s not only emotionally powerful, but also made to last.
