The inspiration for my art always comes from the human body. I am particularly fascinated by the beautiful colors of the skin and am always searching for exciting lighting situations.

The sculptural aspect of painting is also clearly evident in my works. By focusing on form and color instead of details, I can work very loosely and energetically, enhancing the three-dimensional effect.In my paintings, I enjoy playing with contrasts: warm and cold, light and dark, different textures, as well as soft and hard transitions. This approach often gives my works a strong abstract component.

However, it is very important for me to depict a specific moment and make the atmosphere palpable.

Through my art, I aim to give the viewer the opportunity to identify with the depicted subject. My works evoke memories and associations, translating the everyday into the extraordinary.

A precisely planned composition and the use of symbolic elements often create multiple layers of meaning in my works. This invites the viewer to interpret beyond the obvious and contribute their own perspective.

In my artistic process, photo shoots with models are of central importance. They not

only represent exciting events but are rather an indispensable and continuous part of my creative work. The resulting photos serve as an essential source of inspiration for my painting. I place particular importance on creating exciting contrasts, playing with light and shadow, and composing the images. The selection of location, the use of accessories, and the staging of poses are also important steps in this process.

My artworks are characterized by remarkable depth and plasticity, achieved through the deliberate simplification of figures and the targeted use of contrasts and light. This result is the product of intensive preparation, including numerous sketches and studies. Through these steps, I manage to highlight the essential features of the depicted figures and plan the compositions precisely.

The detailed planning then allows me to work more freely and spontaneously. Using a variety of tools such as spatulas, brushes, and even my own fingers, I create a fascinating variety of textures and surfaces in my paintings. These differentiated structures and the skillful application of soft and hard transitions help to create an illusionary depth and spatiality.

My works reflect the influences of various artistic movements and styles, which I interpret in my own distinctive way. Overall, my style and technique unite precise craftsmanship with a poetic vision, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of reflection and wonder.
