I am interested in the psychological aspect of creative work and the influence of colour, form and sound. Creative expression allows me to capture moments in time, relationships to people, nature and to myself. Art offers me room to thematise inner visions and to confront my thoughts and impressions. I am in a constant dialogue with my work. As colours and the world of sounds are my passion I transfer sonic waves into my paintings or let paintings talk for themselves through diverse instruments.
